FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? A consultant can walk you through the detail in a short call.
We review them as UAE regulation changes. For anything fee- or threshold-related we deliberately avoid publishing figures that date quickly and confirm the current position with you directly.
Yes — the initial consultation is free and is the fastest way to get an answer tailored to your activity.
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.
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.
