What are the requirements to qualify for UAE’s freelancer visa?

I work as a freelance writer, mostly shadowwriting books in politics and social sciences. For a change of pace, I'd like to live in Dubai for a while but I don't plan to be employed there, just working remotely. Would I qualify to apply for the freelancer visa?

    The nature of your work is to apply for a remote work visa and for that, you need to have proof of income from your home country. If you wish to apply as a freelancer in a freezone, you are also eligible but more expensive compared to the remote visa. Last will be the investor/partner visa in mainland that you can corporate inside the mainland without the need of local sponsor or any investment and have your renewable two-year residency.
