One relationship that manages the moving parts.
Vanguard Immigration & Banking is a founder led advisory firm based in Dubai.
We provide complete guidance across immigration and residency, corporate structuring, property facilitation, and banking consultancy, serving clients globally, with structuring capability based in the UAE at the core.
Our licensed activities span Banking Consultancy (6619.90) · Corporate Services Provider (7010.93) · Immigration Services (7490.92). Where an engagement requires regulated legal, tax, or financial services, we coordinate appropriately licensed specialists rather than overstate what we deliver directly.
What we offer is senior, coordinated advisory, one relationship that manages the moving parts of establishing yourself and your capital in the UAE.
Work directly with a principal.
Ala Orabi co-founded Vanguard on a simple principle: clients of consequence deserve to work directly with a principal, not to be passed between intermediaries.
He brings around 20 years in banking and financial services, alongside a lifelong understanding of the UAE market.
Previous roles
- Formerly at HSBC, in private banking in the DIFC, compliance and UHNW client management
- Formerly at Emirates NBD
That combination, practical banking and advisory experience paired with deep local context, is what allows Vanguard to present clients accurately to UAE authorities and licensed institutions, and to set honest expectations about what each route can deliver.
Previous employment is listed for background only. Vanguard is independent and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any bank named here.
Four principles, every engagement.
Discretion
Confidentiality is the default, not a feature. Client affairs are handled privately and shared only where you explicitly approve, except where disclosure is required by law or regulators.
Precision
Every structure, application, and introduction is prepared to the standard the receiving authority or institution actually expects.
Directness
No intermediaries diluting the relationship. Clients work directly with a principal who owns the outcome.
Integrity
We qualify eligibility honestly and decline what does not fit, rather than promising outcomes we cannot control.
