What to know as an NRI in UAE & Gulf

NRE and NRO, in plain words

Money you earn abroad and bring to India usually goes through an NRE account. Income earned in India, like rent, sits in an NRO account. We help you use the right one for each goal.

KYC updated to NRI status

Your investments need your KYC to show your NRI status and overseas address. We guide you through it step by step.

Bringing money back

NRE funds can generally be repatriated, subject to rules. We explain this before you invest, so you know your options.

Tax context in the Gulf

Rules on personal income tax differ across Gulf countries and depend on your situation. It depends on your country's rules, so please confirm with a tax professional.

Calls at your time

Evenings or weekends, on WhatsApp or video. We fit around your work week in the Gulf.
