FAQs
1. Can foreigners own 100% of a company in the UAE?
In many cases, yes. Full foreign ownership is available in free zones and is permitted for many mainland activities, depending on the activity and licensing requirements.
2. What’s the difference between mainland and free zone setup?
Mainland setups generally allow broader access to operate across the UAE market (subject to activity approvals). Free zones offer 100% foreign ownership and zone-specific benefits, and may require additional arrangements to trade directly on the mainland.
3. How many visas can my company sponsor?
Visa quota typically depends on your license type, jurisdiction, and workspace solution. We guide the route that fits your team plan.
4. Do I need to be in the UAE to form a company?
In many cases, company formation can be completed remotely via signed documentation and formal authorisations. Physical presence is generally required only if you proceed with residency visa steps that require biometrics and medical testing.
