FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? A consultant can walk you through the detail in a short call.
Non-compliance with UAE AML obligations can result in significant administrative penalties. If you are in a designated category, registration and a live compliance framework are mandatory.
In-scope businesses are generally required to appoint a compliance officer. We advise on the role and can support the appointed person with process and reporting.
Timelines vary by authority, activity and how quickly documents and approvals are returned. Your consultant gives you an indicative schedule at the start and keeps you updated at each stage.
Cost depends on the authority, licence type, number of visas and office option you choose. We prepare a written, itemised quotation for your specific case rather than publishing a headline figure that may not apply to you.
