Hi It seems a few members here are based in Dubai, hopefully you will have updated information to share. I'm going back to Dubai soon to open a bank account for a rak offshore company, main/sole activity is equities trading. In my recent experience in Dubai opening a commercial bank account for non residents takes more time than I wished but I hope to be able to finalize everything on my next trip. I would apreciate to have a plan B or even C upon flying to Dubai. What banks are the easiest bets at the moment ? I qualify as well for private banking if that helps, although i don't need money managers. Thanks in advance for all advice Luis
