I opened an account 2 years ago in Dubai via my local HSBC branch in the UK. As a non-resident you can open a savings account and not a current account. You will be issued with debit cards which akllows you to draw money out when you are in the UAE. To avaid charges a minimum balance of AED5000 is required.
I have 1 bedroom apartment in the Persia area of International City. It is on long term let via Exclusive a british run company. Rent is deposited in my savings account.
Hope this information will be useful to all who have purchased in Dubai and are looking to let.
