setting up a business, registering a newborn, buying a house/appartment with a mortgage and not dodgy cash, selling a house (inc new 1.5% transfer charges), getting a mortgage in the first place, registering a boat, launching a boat, having an accident (which is not your fault but still requires the full UAE paper trail) in fact anything that involves the authorities and affiliates thereof and you'll see why the UAE was ranked second to last place by the IMF for a country to do business... I think Uzbekistan was last... no offence to Uzbekistan.
