Major benefits in incorporating a Free Zone Entity in the UAE are as follows:

Residency in UAE
10 Benefits of being a resident in UAE:
 Simple and fast process to obtain residency status;
 Tax free environment for private and corporate wealth;
 Various options to get residency without minimum investment threshold;
 Easy access from and to any part of the world;
 Tolerant multinational community;
 Hybrid legal and regulatory framework with pro-business government;
 Stable banking system, optimal healthcare and education;
 English as business language;

UAE offers unique residency program combined with business opportunity. Once a person
registers a Free Zone entity in any of the available free trade zones in UAE, the shareholder
and all employees of the company get renewable residency visas for 2 or 3 years linked to
the company. Residents can sponsor direct family members (spouse, parents, children) and
provide same permanent residency visas for them.
The process of becoming a resident will take 4-6 weeks. It is not necessary to be in UAE
during company registration. The presence of the applicant in the country is required only
during the visa stamping which usually takes one week.
