Visa and Emirates ID
If you need a visa, this is the only step you do in person: a visit to Dubai for the medical test and biometrics. Your visa is usually issued within 24 to 48 hours, and your Emirates ID in 1 to 3 days.

Settle in Dubai
With your Emirates ID, you can start settling in. We'll put you in touch with people we trust to open a bank account, find a place to live and get health insurance.
How much does it cost to set up a company in Dubai?
What you pay depends on three things: where you register, whether you need a residence visa, and what it costs to keep the company running each year.
Where you register changes the price
The UAE has dozens of free zones, in Dubai and in other emirates. Each sets its own fees, rules, and renewal terms. A lower price usually means a different free zone, not a better deal on the same one.
You can own a UAE company without living in the country. If you are relocating, the visa is part of your cost. If you are not, you do not pay for one.
