Long-Term 1+ Year Expats community in Dubai
About this group

You signed the lease. You own a car. You have a regular.

One year plus in Dubai changes you. The chat is full of people who know which typing centre processes residency visas fastest, which pediatrician takes emergency calls, and which spot has the best shawarma. This is where quiet, deep friendships form.

Group vibe

Grounded, pragmatic, protective. Welcomes newer expats, warns about scams.
