How much does DMCC company setup cost?
It depends on your activities, the number of visas and the office you choose. We give you an itemised DMCC quote, and compare it with similar zones, before you commit.
How long does DMCC company setup take?
It depends on your activity and how quickly your documents are ready. We map out a realistic DMCC timeline in your free consultation and keep you updated at every step.
Can I get a UAE residence visa with a DMCC license?
Yes. DMCC packages include visa allocations, usually linked to the office or desk you choose. We handle the entry permit, medical test, Emirates ID and visa stamping.
Can a DMCC company trade with mainland UAE customers?
A free zone company generally trades within its zone and internationally. Selling directly across the UAE can need a distributor, a branch or a mainland license, and we’ll explain the options for your activity.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in DMCC?
Much of the process can be done remotely. If you’re applying for a residence visa, you’ll need to be in the UAE for the medical test and biometrics.
