How do I apply for a Dubai VISA?
There are numerous visa options for Dubai, such as a sponsored visa and a self-sponsored visa. To apply for a Dubai visa, visitors must complete a UAE visa application form, have a copy of a valid passport with a minimum validity of six months, two recent photographs, an invitation letter from the UAE sponsor and a letter from your employer (if applicable), and a copy of your residence permit if you already reside in the UAE.

What are the differences between setting up a mainland business versus a free zone business?
A mainland business setup in the UAE provides unrestricted access to the UAE market, allowing companies to conduct over 3,000 business activities, unlimited employee visas, and the ability to sponsor family and domestic staff. It’s ideal for businesses targeting the local Dubai mainland market. In contrast, a free zone business setup offers 100% foreign ownership, no personal taxes, unrestricted profit movement, and a simplified setup process. This setup is favoured by companies focusing on international markets or seeking specific industry clusters within certain free zones. Deciding between a Dubai mainland and Dubai free zone setup requires careful consideration of your business goals and needs. 1. Business Activities: Dubai mainland offers a wider range of business activities, while free zones often cater to specific sectors or industries. 2. Trading: If your business involves trading directly with the UAE market, a mainland license could be more beneficial. 3. Ownership: If 100% foreign ownership is important to you, then a free zone setup would be ideal. 4. Expansion Plans: If you plan to scale up your business within the UAE, a mainland setup might offer more flexibility. 5. Cost: Setup and operational costs differ between mainland and free zones.
