Is there personal income tax in the UAE?

No. The UAE levies zero personal income tax on individuals. Corporate tax of 9% applies to business profits above AED 375,000; qualifying free-zone income may remain at 0%. Nomadic Go does not provide tax advice — consult a qualified professional.

Can a foreigner own 100% of a UAE company?

Yes, in UAE free zones foreign nationals can own 100% of their company without a local sponsor. Some mainland company structures now also permit 100% foreign ownership depending on the business activity.

How do I get a UAE residence visa through my company?

Free-zone company owners are generally eligible for a UAE investor/partner residence visa through their free zone authority. Nomadic Go handles the formation and visa application process as part of our UAE company formation service.

Which UAE free zone is best for my business?

It depends on your business activity. IFZA and RAKEZ suit most digital and consulting businesses; DMCC is preferred for commodities and trading; Meydan suits event and hospitality businesses; ADGM is favoured by financial services. Nomadic Go can help you select the right free zone.

Can I open a personal bank account in the UAE?

Yes. The UAE has world-class banking infrastructure. Non-residents and new residents can open accounts at major banks, though KYC requirements are thorough. Nomadic Go provides personal banking assistance in the UAE.

Which nationalities are accepted for UAE free zone company formation?

UAE free zones including IFZA, RAKEZ, and Meydan accept applicants from virtually all nationalities — including Russian, Belarusian, CIS, Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, and most African and Middle Eastern nationals. The UAE does not restrict free zone company formation or investor/partner residence visas based on nationality, with the exception of nationals of OFAC-comprehensively sanctioned countries (currently Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Syria). If you are uncertain whether your nationality qualifies, contact our support team before purchasing.
