FAQ
Questions we get every week.
Something else? Write to [email protected] or message us on WhatsApp.
How long does it take?
Most companies have their licence 1–2 weeks after applying, and our review takes 1–2 working days. The most common delay is a document that has to be replaced, which is why we check everything before filing. Residence visas start once the licence is issued and take about 2–3 more weeks, including the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics.
Do I need to travel to Dubai?
Not for the licence. The company is formed from your documents and signatures online. For a residence visa you'll need to be in the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics, which usually takes a few days.
Why IFZA?
IFZA licences cover a wide range of trading and service activities, allow 100% foreign ownership and come with a Dubai address. For most consultancies, agencies, software and trading companies it's the most practical starting point. If your activity needs a different authority, we'll tell you before you pay.
When do I pay, and why isn't every price fixed?
You pay after our review, once we've confirmed the final amount. Nothing is charged when you create your account or submit the form. Some costs, like visas, depend on your nationality and your activity, so we show a starting price and confirm it after looking at your documents. You can pay by card or bank transfer.
Will I pay corporate tax?
The rate is 9% on taxable profit above AED 375,000 and 0% below it. Every company has to register and file a return, even if no tax is due. Small Business Relief may apply if revenue stays under AED 3,000,000. We check this for you every year.
Can you open a bank account for the company?
We prepare the application and KYC pack, submit it to the bank you choose and book the interview. The final decision is always the bank's, and we'll tell you up front if your profile is likely to be a problem for a particular bank.
What happens at renewal?
You'll get reminders 90, 30 and 7 days before. Renewal is one click in the panel, and the new licence goes straight into your Documents.
Get your starting price in five minutes.
We confirm the final amount after reviewing your application, and you pay only then. Prefer to talk first? Book a call with our team.
