Confirm current conditions

Requirements, fees and timelines in the UAE change. Message us on WhatsApp — we'll check them for your activity and jurisdiction.

Who a Free Zone is suitable for

This structure is often chosen for consulting, international services, online projects, trading, and companies that don't require a physical customer-facing office.

What to compare

It's important to look not only at the starting price, but also at the visa quota, office requirements, the list of activities, renewal costs, and the banking profile.

Check the restrictions

The ability to work with clients on the mainland and the requirements for specific activities must be confirmed before paying for a package.
