Frequently asked questions
Which free zone is best?
There is no single best zone. The right one depends on your activity, how many visas you need, whether you want a physical office and your budget. We compare suitable zones side by side for you.
Can a free zone company sell in the UAE?
It can trade freely inside its zone and internationally. Selling to the UAE mainland usually goes through a local distributor, a mainland branch or a permit, depending on the zone.
Can I set up remotely?
Many free zones allow incorporation without visiting the UAE. You will need to come in person later for visa medicals and biometrics.
