If you don’t have the heart to stay in the region and have rushed back home, you shouldn’t have job security to work remote or return to take advantage of tax free incentives 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why does it matter whether the consultant works from his bedroom in Dubai vs. in some other safer city? What difference does it make if they’re working UAE hours?

Folks booked precautionary travel for weeks, up to a few months at most. You can’t become a tax resident in most places unless you spend 183 consecutive days. Most of us are still paying rent in Dubai so it’s not like there’s financial gain or god forbid abuse.

This patriotism expectation is just stupid, our jobs are already stressful as is, add to it actual million dollar missiles with tonnes of TNT flying overhead and several ear-bursting emergency alerts per day. Get a grip.
