How We Write and Check Our Guides

Who reviews our guides, how they are made and checked, and what the Updated date means.

Last updated 12 October 2026

In short

  • Every guide is reviewed by Mir Ali, founder of MIRDXB PRO, before it is published and whenever it is materially updated.
  • Official sources first. Every fee, deadline, condition and article number comes from the authority's own page or the published legislation, and is linked.
  • The review is practical, not theoretical. Fees, document lists, timelines and steps are checked against official sources and against the real cases we have handled for clients over the past three years.
  • We use AI tools to help with research and first drafts. A person checks every fee, rule, step and legal reference before anything goes live. Anything we cannot verify is removed or clearly labelled.
  • One page, one question. We do not publish near-duplicate pages, doorway pages or pages written only to rank.
  • The "Updated" date only changes when the content changes in substance, not for a link fix or a typo.
  • Mistakes are corrected in public in the corrections and updates log.

This policy explains how the guides, law pages and calculators on mirdxbpro.com are researched, written, checked and corrected, so you can judge how far to rely on them. It applies to everything in the Knowledge Hub, the service pages and the tools.

Who reviews our guides

Every guide on this site is reviewed by Mir Ali, founder of MIRDXB PRO. For the past three years Mir has worked UAE visa, labour and company files from start to finish: employment and family visas, renewals and cancellations (including cancellations where the sponsor has stopped responding or the company has closed), re-entry permits for residents stuck abroad, fines and absconding cases, Emirates ID, attestation and trade licence work.

That experience is what the review checks against. A rule can read one way on a government page and work differently at the counter. When our files show that a step takes longer, that a document is asked for in practice, or that a fee has changed, the guide says so.

Mir Ali is also the editor. He decides what is published and signs off each page. The name on a guide is the person accountable for it.

How a guide is made

  1. We start from real questions. Topics come from what clients ask us on WhatsApp and at the counter, and from the problems we see repeatedly in files.
  2. We check the question is not already answered. Each page has one target question. If another page on the site already answers it, we improve that page instead of writing a second one.
  3. We research the official position. We go to the authority that owns the rule: MOHRE, GDRFA Dubai, ICP, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), the relevant free zone authority, and the official English texts on the UAE Legislation portal. We open and read each official page we cite, note the date we checked it, and record where every figure came from.
  4. AI tools help us draft. We use AI tools to help gather and organise research and to produce first drafts. They are a tool for speed, not the source of the facts. A draft is never published as it stands.
  5. Mir Ali reviews it against practice. Every fee, document list, timeline, eligibility rule and article number is checked against the official source and against what happened in the files we have handled. Where our experience differs from the published position, we explain both.
  6. We label what is uncertain. If a figure could not be verified, it is removed or marked as unverified. If a rule is new or disputed, the guide says what is confirmed and what is not.
  7. We keep it current. Pages are re-checked when a rule changes and in a scheduled review. When a fee, form or procedure changes, the guide is updated and the "Updated" date changes with it.

Real cases and example cases

Some guides include real cases from files we have handled. Names, passport and file numbers, employer details and QR codes are removed, and any document shown is redacted.

Other guides include example cases. These are built from the situations we see most often and use the published figures. They are labelled as examples, not presented as individual clients.

What the "Updated" date means

The date at the top of a guide is the last time its content changed in substance: a new section, a changed fee or rule, or a rewrite. Small edits such as fixing a link, a typo or formatting do not change it. We do not change dates to make a page look fresh.

Which sources do we use?

TierExamplesHow we use it
1. Officialu.ae, uaelegislation.gov.ae, MOHRE, ICP, GDRFA Dubai, DET and Invest in Dubai, the Federal Tax Authority, the Ministry of Finance, MOFA, free zone authorities, sector regulatorsThe basis for every fee, deadline, condition and legal reference. Linked on each page.
2. Established reportingWAM, Gulf News, Khaleej Times, The National, law-firm updatesTo confirm or date a change, or when no official page exists yet. We say "as reported by" rather than present it as official.
3. Our own filesWhat happens when we submit at the counterPractical context only: the order steps actually run in, and where files get stuck. We do not publish client details or unverifiable volume claims.

We do not use figures from other setup agencies or from anonymous websites. If a fee or rule appears only there, we leave it out. Each guide links to the specific official pages it relies on.

How do we handle law and regulated topics?

Our law library quotes the official text and links the legislation, so you can check every article yourself. Pages on regulated activities, such as financial services, virtual assets, healthcare or legal services, describe the published route and name the regulator; they never imply that an approval is guaranteed.

How do we stay independent?

  • No authority, free zone or company pays to appear in our guides or to be ranked higher in a comparison.
  • If we ever become an authorised partner or agent of a free zone or other provider, we will say so on every page that discusses it.
  • Calls to action on a page are for MIRDXB PRO's own services and are labelled as such.

How do our calculators work?

Each calculator uses the published rates we hold for its subject and the inputs you give. It shows an estimate, not a decision. The rates behind each tool are reviewed when the underlying rule changes.

Found an error?

Tell us on WhatsApp at +971 56 897 4054 or by email at info@mirdxbpro.com, with the page address and what you think is wrong. We check it against the official source. If we were wrong, we correct the page, update the date if the change is material, and record it in the corrections and updates log.

What our guides are not

MIRDXB PRO is a private company. We are not MOHRE, GDRFA, ICP, Amer, Tasheel or any government body. Our guides are general information to help you understand your position, not legal, immigration, tax or financial advice. Your own file can differ, which is why we confirm the route and the fees in writing before any work starts. Read our disclaimer.

Talk to us

Send us the document. We will tell you where you stand.

A trade licence, a passport page, an Emirates ID number or a labour contract is usually enough for us to give you the position, the cost and a realistic date — before you commit to anything.
