Originally from italy. Expat in uae.
Default

If you don't plan on working there then you might have problems with the visa. You will also probably only be able to open an account for a foreigner with the limits that entails and in that case will probably not be liable for tax.
But I suggest you do your homework because all companies in Europe invoice and MUST have a VAT code to pay and to invoice which you cannot have unless you are a resident in one of the EC countries.

The EC is not the UAE..... Dont forget that.

If you're a freelancer, let's say making websites for Italian people / companies, you're still stealing job opportunity of an Italian, bacause he would take this job in fact.

In my case, I will have absolutely NO economic activities at all.. But yes, i will open an account and have my payments made to an Italian Bank each month, so probably that will be a problem.. Those are internet advertisement earnings.
