My family with kids will be moving to AD shortly. Initially, we plan to stay in a serviced apartment while searching for a permanent apartment to rent. I currently hold an Investor visa and need to apply for dependent visas for my family before the school term begins. I understand that a tenancy agreement is normally required for the dependent visa application.

Would a serviced apartment lease invoice/agreement be accepted for dependent visa processing ?

Also could you please advise on suitable serviced apartments in Al Raha Beach, Khalifa City , especially near to Yasmina british school or near airport area?

Almost 10 years i am in OCI and also doing regular ITR filling as Non-resident status for my india property income but recently in india, my parents received my SIR form to be filled out and i am bit surprised why my name is under voter list now. So far i am in assumption when india citizen is surrender automatically my name will be removed in voting list. In youtube video, somebody saying i need to return the SIR filled form with Form 7. What's action i need to take it or should i ignore it? what's impact if i ignore it? None of my oci friends are aware of form 7.

Holding a Investor visa via Ajman Free zone. Now i am applying for dependent visa's. Already Client start paying the invoice to business bank account, yet i haven't taken the salary and left our future and enchnacement of business.

When i spoken to ICP customer care they advise, first open GUARANTOR FILE and next apply entry permit, medical, biometric etc.

In ICP app GUARANTOR FILE screen it's asking for Salary info and Salary Certificate (Required). Can i input zero salary and under Salary Certificate attachment, can i upload the business bank statement, trade license ? Please advise

I want do myself, rather than going typing centres..

I opened an IT consulting company in the Ajman Free Zone about 3 months ago. I am currently operating the business from abroad and am the only employee/director. The company has recently started generating revenue from an EU client. I plan to relocate to the UAE soon.

I have a few questions regarding expenses and their accounting/tax treatment:

1. Director's house rent and utilities
   • Can my company pay for my apartment rent and utility bills (electricity, water, internet)?
   • If the company pays these expenses, are they considered deductible business expenses, or would they be treated as a director's benefit/personal expense?
2. Director and family visa costs
   • I assume my investor visa costs, health insurance, medical test, Emirates ID fees, and renewals can be treated as business expenses. Is that correct?
   • Can the company also pay for my dependents' visas, visa deposits, Emirates ID fees, and health insurance?
   • If yes, are these deductible business expenses, or would they be treated as personal benefits?

I would appreciate hearing from business owners or accountants familiar with UAE regulations. I will engage an accountant later, probably towards the end of the year, but I would appreciate any guidance on these questions in the meantime.

I'm researching the AI Data landscape and trying to understand where the next wave of product companies are being built. Would love the community's take — especially from founders, investors, or practitioners actively working in this space.

Here are the areas I've identified so far — curious which you think have the most traction or whitespace:

- AI Data Governance — lineage, access control, compliance (GDPR/AI Act), auditability

- Synthetic Data — generating training/test data to reduce reliance on real-world datasets

- Data Quality for AI/ML — detecting drift, label errors, skew between train and prod

- Data Labeling & Annotation — human-in-the-loop + automation for ground truth

- Unstructured Data Management — making PDFs, audio, video, images AI-ready

- Data Privacy & Anonymisation — PII scrubbing, federated learning, differential privacy

- AI-ready Data Marketplaces — buying/selling curated datasets for model training

Questions:

1. Which of these do you think is most under-served right now?

2. Are there hot areas I'm missing entirely?

3. Where are VCs writing the most cheques in 2026, 2025?

4. Which ones are getting commoditised fast (i.e. not a good time to build)?

Background: I'm exploring potential startup ideas in this space and want to avoid areas that are either too crowded or too early. Any recommendations, or honest takes welcome!

Please advise on the dependent sponsorship process. I hold an investor visa and am planning to bring my family to the UAE. My understanding is that, since they hold British passports, they can enter the UAE on a visa-on-arrival tourist entry without needing a prior entry permit.

1. My family will enter the UAE on a visa-on-arrival tourist visa.
2. I will apply for their dependent visa through ICP or a typing centre.
3. An entry permit will be issued, and we will complete a status change from tourist visa.
4. They will undergo a medical test followed by Emirates ID biometrics.

Is this the correct process, or am I missing anything?

The commercial building tenant agreement expired in the middle of last year. We sent a legal notice through a lawyer to vacate the premises and he stopped pay rent and his two‑month deposit was also exhausted. Later we disconnected the electricity and the tenant left the building in an abandoned state without paying the electricity bills.

We waited for three months, but there was no response from him. We then moved all his items to the parking area and took possession of our property. Later, we paid his electricity bills as the meter was about to be disconnected.

It has now been almost six months and there has still been no response from him to remove his items. What legal options do I have to remove the items?

My lawyer is an elderly person and keeping saying this civil matter takes a long time in court for proper eviction. When we asked him again for removal action, he said that if we take any legal action, it may backfire on us as the removal of the tenant’s items it's illegal. Despite the agreement clearly stating that if the tenant defaults for more than two months, we can lock the building and remove the items, he is advising us to wait for a few more months, saying there are no other options for us.

My wife’s Vodafone ukpostpaid subscription is out of contract, and I’ve signed up for a new Vodafone postpaid contract. I’m trying to transfer her number to my account. I obtained a PAC code, but on the Vodafone.co.uk/keepmynumber” page, there’s no option to move a number from one Vodafone postpaid account to another.

I contacted Vodafone customer care, and the call was handled by a newbie from the offshore India . He kept me on the call for 40 minutes, checking with manager and finally said that the number must first be converted to prepaid, and then transferred to the new postpaid account. He also mentioned that the prepaid-to-postpaid conversion would take 30 days.

I ended the call because the process sounds a bit ridiculous and concerning. I’m worried about the possibility of losing my number.

Is it true, there is no different transfer between postpay account? Please advise.
