The UAE has been home to Faizal and his family since 2013 when he accepted a position as the finance manager of a Dubai-based construction company.

His role involved frequent interaction with various local government departments. As punishment for a likeable persona, ethical approach, and hard-working nature, Faizal was not only in charge of steering the company’s finances through the COVID turbulence, but evolved into its de facto HR coordinator and PRO.

Faizal now focuses his local knowledge to make life easier and more efficient for other residents and visitors to the UAE when it comes to red tape. Why waste a morning in a que at the RTA to renew your vehicle registration? Ask Faizal. Don’t know where to apply for a golden visa? Ask Faizal. Make an appointment for fast-track medical examination: Ask Faizal. Need someone to hand-deliver attested passport copies before the end of the day? Ask Faizal.

From visa applications to business registration, from buying a new house to resolving a contract dispute with a domestic helper, from arranging medical insurance for a newborn to opening a bank account, from filing VAT returns to locating a copy of your Ejari certificate, from official translation of contracts to arranging a tourist visa for your mother-in-law: there are very few aspects of life and business in the UAE that Faizal does not have first-hand experience of.

Whether you walk into the RTA, the Ministry of Labour, DEWA, the Dubai Economic Department, or RERA, you’ll be hard-pressed not to find someone that knows Faizal.
