How much does Fujairah Creative City cost with no visa in 2026?

What the AED 4,900 package covers

The AED 4,900 price is the complete cost of a working Fujairah Creative City company without residence visas: the trade licence, every government and authority charge, and Formenzo's setup work. What it deliberately leaves out is the visa block — which is exactly right for owners who already hold UAE residence or who will run the entity from abroad.

Who picks this option

Three profiles come up repeatedly: content creators and video producers based overseas who want a UAE entity to invoice Gulf clients; marketing or PR consultants already sponsored on a spouse's or employer's visa; and course sellers or small publishers testing the market before stepping up to the AED 12,500 one-visa tier.

Two things founders ask

Can a licence-only company open a UAE bank account? Yes, though banks apply their own checks and several prefer a shareholder with UAE residence, so expect a longer document list than a visa-holding founder would face.

Is Creative City restricted to media activities? Its licence lists centre on media, creative and consultancy work, so match your exact activity before filing — the full Fujairah Creative City guide is the place to start.
