𧳠 What it takes
- -Set up a free-zone or mainland company
- -Medical test + Emirates ID
- -90+ days a year with a residence permit plus a home or a business there (or 183 days)
β¨ Β Golden visa
Buy AED 2M (β kr 5.8M) of property and get a long-term renewable residence. You keep the property; permit fees are β AED 1,640.
β οΈ Β The catch
We apply the 9% above AED 375k. If your revenue stays under AED 3M (β kr 8.7M), Small Business Relief can take it to 0% - extended through 2029. Dubai rent can eat a chunk of the rest.
π§Ύ Β Exit tax
You own 100%, so Norway's exit tax (utflyttingsskatt) applies: latent share gains above kr 3M per owner are taxed at 37.84%, payable over 12 years. It no longer lapses - it only dies if you move back to Norway within those 12 years.

The other column
What you keep by staying.
The board only counts tax. Here's the part that doesn't fit in a spreadsheet.
Healthcare
Public healthcare that doesn't care how your MRR is doing - small copays, capped per year.
Parental leave
Foreldrepenger: nearly a year of paid leave per child, split between parents. Try invoicing that.
Schools
Free public schools and (still) nearly free universities, if kids are in the plan.
Allemannsretten
The right to roam: every forest, fjord and mountain is legally yours. No spreadsheet has a cell for this.
NAV
The safety net under the tightrope - sick pay at ~80%, unemployment support, a pension that exists.
The brunost
Find a better 49-kroner slice of caramelised whey on a waffle. We'll wait.
