Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A Free Zone company cannot trade directly with the UAE mainland market. To sell goods or services within the UAE, you would typically need to work through a local distributor or establish a separate mainland entity. However, you can freely conduct business internationally and with other Free Zone companies.
Most Free Zones offer flexible options, including virtual offices, flexi-desks, and dedicated office spaces. The requirement depends on the license package you choose.
The visa quota depends on the Free Zone and the office space you lease. Packages can range from 0-visa options to those offering 3, 6, or more visas.
