Buying property in Dubai: Payment options for non-UAE residents

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am from Italy and am currently in the process of buying a property in Dubai.

To arrange payment, I need to pay the seller via the manager's cheque. However, I am experiencing difficulties opening a local bank account as I am not a UAE resident.

The money for the property in Dubai comes from the sale of an apartment in Europe, but I am unable to open a bank account because I do not have a salary certificate.

Therefore, I have two options:

- Transfer the money to my girlfriend's bank account in Dubai and use her account to produce the manager's cheque in the name of the seller. The property will be 100% in my name.

- Use a Dubai law firm to arrange payment.

What is your recommendation?
