Is there a VISA category for working remotely from Dubai?

Hey guys!

So I've been in Dubai multiple times the past year and tried to find a VISA that can allow me to stay, I really love everything about Dubai (except visas haha).

Basically, both I and my partner work remotely for a company based in the Cayman Islands, and with the current contract type, we can work anywhere in the world.

We've been trying to check with both AMER Services, and GDRFA-Dubai, but we can't seem to find a solution as either our salary is too low for their standards, or that there is no visa category for us.

We both earn around $5500 monthly together, and for the 'remote visa' you'll need $3500 or more per person.

Essentially we are out of ideas and our tourist visas have now expired and we were forced once again to accept defeat and having to leave Dubai.

We both really wanna come back live and work remotely from Dubai, so if anyone has any other ideas than what I've mentioned above I would really appreciate all inputs.

Thank you!

There is https://www.freelancervisa.com
Not technically a remote work visa, but does the trick.
They help you get the papers you need.

Disclaimer: I've never used them myself, but I their reputation is okay
