Send us your activity on WhatsApp and we will tell you straight, before you pay anything.
Book a callNot directly from a free zone licence. You go through a mainland distributor, or you add a mainland licence alongside. Adding one later is straightforward, the reverse is not.
Not for the licence, which is filed remotely. Yes for the visa: the medical test and the biometrics require one trip, usually two or three days.
No. It applies to qualifying income only, and the test is run every year. We check your activity against the qualifying list before you file, and we tell you if your revenue mix will fall outside it.
We tell you before you pay and we recommend the jurisdiction that does cover it. If nothing fits, our fee comes back in full.
AED 13,632 from year two. The licence renews at 90% and the visa at 70%, there is no Sahla fee and no tax registration to redo.
Tell us what you sell. We will tell you what to file.
