FAQ

UAE-specific questions

Do I need to live in the UAE to own a free zone company?+

No. You can own and operate a UAE free zone company entirely remotely. A residency visa is optional — useful if you want to live in or visit the UAE often, but not required to maintain the company.

Which free zone should I pick?+

For most clients, SHAMS (Sharjah Media City) is the best balance of price + flexibility. For Dubai prestige, Dubai South or IFZA. For trading/logistics, JAFZA or DAFZ. We help you decide.

How do visas work?+

Most free zone packages let you sponsor 1+ investor or employment visas. You travel to UAE for medical & biometrics (~3–5 days). We handle the entire application.
