The UAE does not levy personal income tax. There is a 9% corporate tax on business profits above 375,000 AED for UAE-registered businesses. Free zone companies with qualifying activities may benefit from 0% corporate tax. Consult a UAE tax advisor for your specific structure. We do not provide tax advice.
The UAE Digital Nomad Visa is a 1-year residence permit for remote workers with foreign income. A free zone company visa is a residence visa tied to your company as an employee-shareholder, typically renewable for 2-3 years. For long-term Dubai residents, the company visa route is generally more stable. We assess the best option for your situation.
Opening a UAE bank account as a non-resident is difficult. A residence visa (digital nomad visa or company visa) makes the process significantly easier. We assist with UAE banking documentation as part of our setup services.
A UAE Digital Nomad Visa typically takes 2-4 weeks. A free zone company formation takes 3-7 days, with the residency visa following in 2-3 weeks. Bank account opening takes a further 1-3 weeks. We run these in parallel where possible to minimise the total timeline.
