Why the UAE
The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for the Entrepreneur Golden Visa in Dubai and makes international pricing simple. As a rule, the UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international customers and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for the Entrepreneur Golden Visa in Dubai.
