Frequently asked questions

FAQ’s – Freezone
  • Can I transfer my company to another free zone?

    As of right now it is not possible to transfer your company to a different free zone. However you can set up a branch of your existing company in a different free zone.

  • What do I need to open a UAE bank account?

    In order to open a UAE bank account you will need to provide the following documents:

    • The original corporate documents that you have received from the Freezone
    • CV of Shareholders and Directors
    • A business summary
    • Additional documents may also be requested
  • What is the process and procedure for renewing my trade license?

    Your relationship manager will send you notifications for renewal 3 months before it is due. When it is convenient for you contact them and they will handle the procedure for you.

  • What is the process and procedure for renewing my visa(s)?

    The first step is to do your medical fitness test and register for Emirates ID renewal. Once this is done and the medical results issued, come with your valid passport (with 3 empty pages and validity of at least 7 months remaining) along with other required documents. Your Visa Specialist will then guide you through the process.

  • Do I need to be physically present for the company formation procedures?

    Your physical presence is not required for proceeding with the incorporation process.

  • What is E-channel?

    E-Channel, a.k.a Tahaluf System Registration, was implemented to streamline immigration processes. It’s mandatory for licenses with visa eligibility in the majority of the northern emirates and consists of a refundable deposit along with a registration and annual renewal fee.

  • What are the advantages of having a free zone company over a mainland company?

    Understanding that each business is different, so identifying the right jurisdiction for your company based on the nature of your business is important. Each jurisdiction has its own advantages and disadvantages. Our team of business setup experts help you choose the right one to help ensure its success.

FAQ’s – Mainland
  • What is an immigration card?

    An immigration card, a.k.a. an establishment card, is required by immigration in order for you to process visas under your license.

  • Can I own 100% of a mainland company?

    Yes, of course you can! A mainland company can be owned 100% by an expatriate shareholder. However, please note it’s subject to the type of business activity under your license.

  • Can my local partner take control of my business?

    Yes, but only if you are not structured correctly. At ………. we offer comprehensive advice on company structuring and can implement a few mechanisms to ensure you always remain in control of your business.

  • What happens if my local partner passes away?

    If your local partner is a natural person, then an heir will inherit the 51% share in your business. It is then up to that person if he or she wishes to continue in the same manner as nominee shareholder or if they wish to negotiate new terms or be more involved in the business. At ………. we offer a corporate nominee shareholder solution that can protect you in the event of the passing of a local partner.

  • What if I want to change my local partner?

    ………. offers a market leading 30-day notice period without penalty if you wish for us to transfer the shares to a new partner while under our sponsorship. However, if you have a natural person as your local partner it is your responsibility to negotiate exit terms at the time of exit.
