Opening a bank account in Dubai as a non-resident is subject to specific requirements set by banks. Typically, a minimum deposit is required, which varies among banks and is assessed on a case-by-case basis. The bank will require the minimum amount to be reflected in the bank statement balance, and an equivalent amount must be deposited into the account after it has been opened.

To open a bank account in the UAE as a non-resident, it is necessary to visit a selected UAE bank with specific personal documents. Required documents include the original passport, proof of address such as a utility bill or an address confirmation from a city council or municipality, personal bank statements from the past 3-6 months to demonstrate proof of funds, and a CV detailing personal and professional background. It is important to note that requirements may vary by bank.
