EER Middle East Settling in Services
Our team handles essential services to help you transition smoothly.
Utilities Setup
Setting up electricity, water, telecommunications and other essential services requires coordination with local providers and regulatory platforms. We manage utility registrations and activation to ensure uninterrupted access from the outset.
Bank Account Opening
Opening a personal bank account often requires local documentation, identification verification and in-person processes to meet local banking requirements. We provide structured guidance and appointment coordination to streamline account establishment and avoid unnecessary delays.
Driving Licence Assistance
Converting or obtaining a driving licence involves regulatory checks, documentation review and, in some cases, testing requirements. We advise on eligibility and coordinate the process to ensure compliance with local regulations.
Lease Management
Lease agreements often include area jurisdiction clauses, payment structures and renewal conditions. We review documentation, coordinate landlord communication and support lease execution to provide clarity and local regulation compliance.
Rental Payments
Managing rental payments may involve post-dated cheques, bank transfers or structured payment schedules depending on the country. We guide assignees through payment requirements to ensure obligations are met accurately and on time.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Settling-In Service cover?
Our Settling-In Service covers the essential administrative tasks required on arrival, including utilities setup, personal bank account opening, driving licence assistance, lease management and rental payment guidance. Each element is coordinated to ensure a smooth and efficient transition into your new home.
Do I need to be present for utilities and bank account setup?
Some processes — including bank account opening — require in-person attendance to meet local identification and verification requirements. We coordinate appointments and prepare documentation in advance to minimise time and avoid unnecessary delays.
Can you assist with converting a foreign driving licence?
Yes — eligibility for licence conversion varies depending on your country of origin and the emirate or country of residence. We advise on applicable requirements, coordinate documentation and manage the process in line with local regulations.
How are rental payments typically structured in the Middle East?
Rental payment structures vary by country and landlord preference. In many markets, payments are made via post-dated cheques or wire transfer, covering quarterly or annual periods. We guide assignees through local payment requirements to ensure obligations are met accurately and on time.
