Can I make a power of attorney from outside the UAE?

Yes, you can sign a POA outside the UAE, but it must complete an attestation chain: notarised in your country of residence, legalised by your country's relevant authority and foreign ministry, attested by the UAE embassy or consulate there, then attested in the UAE by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and translated into Arabic by a legally accredited (sworn) translator, with the translation also attested. Only then will courts, the land department, and banks rely on it. Steps vary if your country is party to the Apostille Convention, so confirm current requirements with the relevant UAE authority first. Full step-by-step guide: Power of Attorney in the UAE.
