The UAE Is Now the Best Destination for Expats on 11 Indexes

The UAE is one of the world's best countries for expatriates (expats) to live in, according to InterNations. This is because the UAE has great rates in 11 index values that measure the best places for expatriates to live. These factors include language, bureaucracy, professional prospects, leisure activities, travel, transportation, job satisfaction, safety, healthcare, social life, housing, wages, and job safety. This was further proven in the report “Expat Insider 2022,” where it ranked sixth in a list including Mexico, Indonesia, Taiwan, Portugal, and Spain (the top 5), making Dubai real estate a substantial investment for any expat.

The report found that the top reasons people feel safe in the UAE are its low crime rate, high level of security, and feeling welcomed and accepted.

Report Overview of UAE

Their strict adherence to rules and regulations ranked UAE high on the list. The officials make it easy to get a visa, and once you are there, the local bureaucracy/authorities are easy to deal with. The administrative and government services in the UAE are widely available online, making expats very happy. Also, it is easy to live in the UAE without speaking the local language, which most expats agree with.

Great Activities

The UAE ranks highly on the Quality of Life Index, with expats enjoying leisure options. The country's dining and nightlife scene are highly rated by those who live there. In particular, they rank 5th in the Quality of Life index and 3rd in Leisure options as they provide 86 percent more dining options and 81 percent more culture and nightlife options.

Getting around to those leisure spots is also not a problem. Around 90 percent of expats are pleased with the travel opportunities while rating vehicle infrastructure at a whopping 95 percent, contributing to the UAE’s number-one ranking in car infrastructure worldwide!

Great Health Amenities and Personal Environment

In general, expats are quite happy with the health and well-being situation in the UAE. They find it easy to access the healthcare services they need and rate the quality and availability of care highly, with residents ranking these at 78 percent. However, they are not as thrilled concerning the affordability of healthcare (only 56 percent agree), which is slightly below the global average (61 percent).

However, the UAE is a safe environment for nearly all expats (94 percent). Women feel safe walking outside on dark evenings, and no one has to fear theft in the daytime. Political stability is currently at 86 percent, so you’re getting a relatively protected and accessible area when purchasing Dubai real estate.

Great Working Environment

The UAE was ranked 28th on the 2019 Reputation Institute Country RepTrak, up from 31st the previous year. The UAE also ranked highly on the World Economic Forum’s 2019 Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index, ranking 16th out of 140 countries.

The Work Culture & Satisfaction Subcategory is another highlight. Expats feel the local business culture encourages creativity/thinking outside the box. Due to its safety and melting pot status, the UAE encourages ambition, innovation, and the pursuit of opportunities.
