Additional Fee Considerations & What Impacts Cost

Here are the things that often increase the cost beyond the “basic license fee”:

  • Number of visas included (investor / employee visas)
  • Office requirement: virtual, flexi desk, shared office, private / physical office etc.
  • Establishment card or registration card fees
  • Annual renewal fees (usually similar to initial license but sometimes lower/higher depending)
  • Miscellaneous: administrative fees, e-channel registration, processing fees, etc.
  • Mandatory renewals (visas, IDs, medical/or insurance depending on zone)
  • If the license is for industrial/manufacturing, then facility / site infrastructure cost etc.

Important Notes

  • Document requirements vary depending on:
    • Chosen free zone
    • License type (trading, consulting, industrial)
    • Number of visas
    • Shareholding structure (individual vs corporate)
  • Non-residents can own Free Zone companies — you do not need a UAE visa beforehand.
  • Some documents may need to be attested or legalized, especially if issued outside the UAE.
