no it is not difficult for single women to get bank accounts, appartments or anything. u will not be able to get a bank account until yr residencevisa is stamped in yr passport but that applies to men or women. as for getting an apartment that again depends on yr visa status and income rather than yr gender. presumably ur working fora european company u may have a bit of a tough time if its a local company as it would be mostly men but expat companies usually have men and women. i lived and worked there for 12 yrs and know many single women there.

i think you are saying about saudi arabia in dubai no way what u said is all wrong infact they will help you out here girls get more preferences anywhere in a que or processing papers etc this is the best part about dubai and definately you will have no problems at all . i can guarantee you it's really safe for a women here . If you are decent . you can share an apartments with girls too it's ok you will it when you come here . remember they are strict too if you do something wrong ( mischief ). just follow the laws and respect it and you will be fine and happy

that's not true , you just need to present the certificate of salary (obtain from place of work) to open an account in any bank. Or if you are self employed, or have some other type of income (i.e trade license) just present some documents to that regards , and all banks will accept these after verification. Also about the Apt. its not true , you can rent it alone if you can afford it. Some local banks even have special counters & account services just for women.
