American Business Council - Dubai

President’s Club and Vice-President’s Club members are those members who provide a very high level of support to the American Business Council of Dubai and the Northern Emirates at the beginning of each year. These members may change each year depending upon the member’s preferences. If you are interested in becoming a President’s Club or Vice-President’s Club member, please contact our membership coordinator for more information. A dedicated page for our President’s Club and Vice President’s Club members can be found in the About Us section of this website.

The American Business Council of Dubai and the Northern Emirates welcomes those interested in membership with our organization. In order to achieve our goals and objectives though, we limit our membership to certain businesses and individuals that meet special criteria, specifically American businesses or individuals and other non-American nationals involved in business with U.S. interests. More information about membership including an online application can be found in the Membership section of this website.

Documents that need to be notarized for use in the United States of America should be notarized at a U.S. Embassy or a U.S. Consulate. In the United Arab Emirates, you can have your documents notarized at the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai. You can find more information about this service from the website of the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai.

The U.S. Embassy and U.S. Consulate distribute U.S. tax forms. They do not provide tax advice or information. We also have limited supplies in our office. You may also get information and forms from the website of the Internal Revenue Service. You may find their publication “Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad” useful.

American citizens may receive a Federal Post Card Application to register to vote from the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai. State regulations determine voting requirements. You can find more information about your state’s requirements for voting overseas from the Federal Voting Assistance Program. In some circumstances, you may be eligible to use the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot if you have not received your ballot from your home state in time.
