Sources & fact-checking

Start with the responsible authority

For residency, use ICP and relevant Abu Dhabi government guidance. For employment, identify whether MOHRE, ADGM or another employment framework applies. For housing and services, use the responsible local regulator or provider.

Where authorities publish different or apparently conflicting information, avoid turning one statement into a universal rule. Identify the service and applicant category, check the most relevant current source and explain remaining uncertainty.

Prices and budgets

Distinguish current published tariffs, dated quotations and illustrative arithmetic. A household budget example is not a claim about an average market price. Property comparisons should identify the location, size, payment period and included services.
