Free Zone FAQs

Free Zone Setup FAQs

01

Can a Free Zone company trade directly within the UAE mainland?

Free zone entities can trade directly within their designated economic zone and globally. To sell physical goods directly into the local UAE mainland market, free zone companies can partner with a local mainland distributor or secure a secondary mainland commercial branch.

02

Is physical office space mandatory for a Free Zone setup?

No. Most UAE free zones offer flexible virtual desk or shared coworking packages (flexi-desks) that fulfill official trade license requirements without the overhead of leasing dedicated physical office space.

03

What is the cost of setting up a Free Zone business in Dubai?

Free zone setup costs vary based on the specific authority, licensed business activities, number of residency visas required, and office space selection. Free zones offer low-entry packages for virtual setups.

04

Can I get investor and employee visas with a Free Zone license?

Yes. Free zone company incorporation entitles shareholders, executives, and employees to apply for UAE residency visas. The total visa quota depends on your license package and workspace selection.
