The Emirate secured number one spot out of 53 cities in the Expat Essentials Index, conducted by InterNations as part of its 2024 Expat Insider report. The Index is based on four categories: Admin (how easy it is to get a visa, deal with local bureaucracy, open a bank account); Housing (affordability of housing, ease of finding accommodation); Digital Life (availability of government services online, high-speed internet); and Language (how easy it is to integrate without speaking the local language).

This international recognition highlights Ras Al Khaimah’s commitment to creating an exceptional living and working environment for its diverse and growing expat community, in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah.
