Question 4

How do I choose the right UAE free zone?

Choosing a free zone depends on your budget, preferred emirate, how many residence visas you need, and your business activity. Use the Find My Zone tool to filter to the zones that allow your activity and rank them by real all-in price.

Question 5

What documents do I need for a UAE free zone company?

Accepted Answer

The core set is a passport copy and photo for each shareholder, 2–3 proposed company names for the trade-name check, your chosen business activity, and your UAE entry stamp if you are in the country. Residence visas add an Emirates ID, a medical fitness test and an establishment card.
