Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in Dubai to set up a company?
No. We can complete the entire formation process remotely. You only need to visit Dubai for your visa (Emirates ID and medical) if you want residence status.
How long does the process take?
Most formations complete in 7 to 14 working days from document submission. Complex structures or specific free zones may take longer.
Can I open a bank account remotely?
Some banks require in person verification, while others offer remote account opening for certain profiles. We advise on the best options based on your situation.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
Annual license renewal (typically AED 12,000 to 20,000 depending on zone), visa renewals if applicable, and optional services like accounting or registered address. We provide a full cost breakdown before you commit.
Can I add visas later?
Yes. Our Launchpad package includes no visas, with the option to add them anytime. Additional visas cost AED 2,500 to 3,500 per visa depending on timing.
