What Is After Dubai?
The world’s first relocation advisory built specifically for Dubai expats. We’ve been where you are — and we know the way forward.
Born From the Dubai Expat Experience
After Dubai was created by expats who lived the Dubai dream — and then woke up. We spent years in the Gulf, building careers, raising families, and contributing to one of the world’s most extraordinary cities. We understand the magnetic pull of tax-free salaries, the comfort of familiar routines, and the genuine fear that leaving Dubai means giving up everything you have worked for.
We also understand the moment when something shifts. When the excitement of a new brunch venue cannot compensate for another summer trapped indoors. When school fee invoices trigger anxiety rather than pride. When you realise that the “two more years” you have been promising yourself has become five, then ten. When you look at your children growing up in malls and wonder if this is really the childhood you wanted for them.
After Dubai exists for that moment. We are the bridge between the life you have built in Dubai and the life you want to build next. Not a travel agency, not a visa processor, not a real estate agent — although we help with all of these things. We are a comprehensive relocation advisory that understands the complete picture of leaving Dubai because we have lived it ourselves.
What We Do
Destination Consulting: We help you choose between Bali, Thailand, Portugal, Georgia, Malaysia, and other destinations based on your specific circumstances. Our consultations consider family size, budget, career plans, lifestyle preferences, healthcare needs, and long-term goals. We provide honest, data-driven comparisons — not sales pitches for a single destination.
Visa and Immigration: Complete visa processing for all destination countries. From short-term exploratory visas to long-term residency permits, we handle documentation, applications, and renewals. Our expertise prevents costly mistakes and delays.
Education Placement: School shortlisting, application management, campus tours, and transition support for children of all ages. We have relationships with leading international schools across all our destinations.
Property and Accommodation: From finding your first rental to investment property advisory, we source accommodation that matches your lifestyle and budget. Our local knowledge prevents tourist-rate leases and property scams.
Business Setup: For entrepreneurs and freelancers, we coordinate company formation, work permits, office space, banking, and operational setup in your chosen destination.
Settlement Support: Airport pickup, neighbourhood orientation, essential services registration, healthcare setup, banking, SIM cards, driving licences, and community introduction. We ensure your first weeks in a new country are smooth and supported.
Part of Juara Holding Group
After Dubai is a brand of Juara Holding Group (JHG), an integrated holding company with operations across hospitality, real estate, digital services, and lifestyle businesses in Southeast Asia. This structure gives After Dubai clients access to a network of established businesses in their destination countries — from property management and co-working spaces to hospitality venues and professional services.
JHG’s presence across multiple sectors means we do not just help you relocate — we provide an ecosystem for building your new life. Need a co-working space? We have partners. Looking for investment opportunities? We have access. Want to start a business? We have operational infrastructure. This integrated approach sets After Dubai apart from standalone relocation agencies that hand you a visa and wish you luck.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is After Dubai a relocation company?
After Dubai is a relocation advisory — we provide comprehensive guidance and hands-on support for every aspect of your move from Dubai. Unlike traditional relocation companies that focus on logistics (shipping and moving), we cover the complete spectrum: destination selection, visa strategy, education, housing, business setup, healthcare, and community integration.
How much do After Dubai’s services cost?
Initial consultations are free. We offer both comprehensive relocation packages (covering all services from visa to settlement) and individual services (visa only, school placement only, property search only). Package pricing depends on destination, family size, and scope of services. Contact us for a personalised quote.
Do you only help people moving to Bali?
No. While Bali is our most popular destination, we provide full relocation services to Thailand, Portugal, Georgia, and Malaysia. We also offer destination consulting for other countries. Our recommendation is always based on what is best for your situation, not on promoting a single destination.
Can I use After Dubai if I’ve already left Dubai?
Absolutely. Many of our clients are former Dubai expats who have already relocated but need assistance with visas, school placement, property, or business setup in their new destination. Others are in a third country considering their next move. The After Dubai experience is relevant regardless of your current location.
Company History and Origins
After Dubai emerged from a clear market observation: thousands of Dubai expats annually transition to new destinations seeking lifestyle changes, tax optimization, or fresh opportunities. Founded by experienced relocation professionals and entrepreneurs with deep roots in both the Middle East and Southeast Asia, After Dubai recognized an underserved market gap. Rather than generic relocation services, the company was built specifically to understand the unique challenges Dubai expats face—managing wealth in new jurisdictions, navigating complex visa requirements, establishing businesses internationally, and maintaining quality of life during major life transitions. The company’s founding team brought combined decades of experience in international business, immigration law, real estate development, and expatriate advising, creating a service model grounded in genuine understanding of client needs and destinations.
Mission and Core Values
After Dubai’s mission centers on empowering Dubai expats through comprehensive, personalized relocation advisory that transforms life transitions into strategic opportunities. The company values integrity above all—providing honest assessments of destinations, realistic cost projections, and candid discussions about tradeoffs rather than overselling solutions. Client success forms the foundation of the business model, measured through post-relocation satisfaction, financial outcomes, and long-term stability achieved in new homes. The company commits to continuous education, regularly updating market intelligence on visa changes, tax regulations, investment opportunities, and community developments across all five primary destinations. This mission-driven approach positions After Dubai as a trusted advisor rather than transactional service provider, building relationships that often span years as clients navigate ongoing needs and new life chapters.
Team Expertise and Professional Background
The After Dubai team comprises specialists with diverse professional backgrounds united by deep destination knowledge and client-centric philosophy. Team members include immigration lawyers familiar with visa processes across Indonesia, Thailand, Portugal, Georgia, and Malaysia. Real estate specialists with established networks in each destination provide property insights and connection to vetted developers and agents. Tax advisors hold credentials in multiple jurisdictions, guiding clients through compliance and optimization strategies. Business consultants assist entrepreneurs in establishing ventures, managing operations, and scaling internationally. Financial advisors help navigate wealth relocation, investment strategies, and retirement planning tailored to expat circumstances. This multidisciplinary expertise allows comprehensive advisory addressing all dimensions of relocation—from initial planning through post-move settlement, business establishment, and long-term wealth management.
Our Mission and Approach
Why was After Dubai founded?
After Dubai was born from a simple observation: thousands of expats leave Dubai every year, but most navigate their relocation alone, making costly mistakes. Our founders experienced this firsthand and created After Dubai to provide a single trusted partner who manages every aspect of the post-Dubai transition.
What qualifications does the After Dubai team bring?
Our team combines immigration lawyers, certified financial planners, education consultants, property advisors, and relocation specialists, all with personal experience living as expats in multiple countries. Every team member has personally completed at least one international relocation, giving them firsthand empathy for the challenges our clients face.
