Hi, Sunil here to answer whether you can become a national of Dubai

Are you wondering how you can become a citizen of Dubai?

This burning question has been on the minds of so many.

Many want to become a citizen of Dubai.

You may ask why? Well to sum it up in brief, it is said that the best job in the world is to be born as an Arab in Dubai.

You are literally fed by streams of wealth by the government from the time you are born to the time you are buried. Work is one thing you may never have to do in life. You know what “working” is right? Yes, some people have never heard that word.

I am not saying a national of Dubai is lazy. In fact so many are very ambitious that they take the wealth given to them and entrepreneurially build empires that bring in even more wealth and create local jobs.

All I am saying is that the Emirate of Dubai takes very good care of its citizens just like any other country would.

So back to your question - is it possible to become a national of Dubai? The short answer is NO. You can forget about getting citizenship in Dubai.

For most expatriates, Dubai is a short term stop in life where they can put together some tax free dollars and then return back to their respective homes top continue on with life. No one really retires in Dubai.

The Dubai government is very protective of its local citizens and will not allow "others" to come in and share the wealth with the locals that "deserve" it. Moreover, it fears that by granting citizenship to foreigners, it may be inviting the possibility to have its cultural values tainted (conservatism vs. liberalism).
