It depends on your activities, the number of visas and the office you choose. We give you an itemised IFZA quote, and compare it with similar zones, before you commit.
How long does IFZA company setup take?
It depends on your activity and how quickly your documents are ready. We map out a realistic IFZA timeline in your free consultation and keep you updated at every step.
Can I get a UAE residence visa with a IFZA license?
Yes. IFZA 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 IFZA 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 IFZA?
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.
