Residency in the United Arab Emirates
by business incorporation

Since the United Arab Emirates impose
no taxes either on individuals or legal persons,
residency in the UAE is chosen not so much
as a way to move around freely or to physically
relocate, but rather for its advantageous
tax climate.

The easiest way to obtain UAE residency is by company
incorporation in the Emirates and a license to do
business in the UAE.

Advantages of UAE residency

okno_3
Tax
residency

The UAE is a “tax haven”. It imposes no taxes on tax residents and businesses

okno_3
Residency for
your whole family

Residency is issued for 3 years right off. Together with the main applicant, residency is extended also to family members: the applicant’s spouse and children under 18

okno_3
No requirements
to live there

UAE residency does not oblige you to permanently stay in the Emirates, nor do you have to conduct company business

okno_3
The ability to open bank accounts and buy real estate

Holders of UAE residency can buy real estate in Dubai and other cities, as well as confidentially open bank accounts in reliable global banks

UAE residency through registering a company is the easiest
and most widely accessible form of residency.

Conditions for receiving UAE residency

Residency in the UAE can be obtained on the basis of having a business in the UAE, i.e. a company registered in the UAE in the name of the applicant(s) and having a license to do business inside the UAE.

THESE LICENSES EXIST IN THREE CATEGORIES:

1
Commercial
2
Services
3
General Trading

The most widespread license category for a legal entity for those who want to obtain UAE residency is General Trading, as only this license is set up to offer residency to company owners in a number up to 3 persons.

Often people wanting to obtain UAE residency are guided only by this criterion, and they don’t think about the activity that their registered legal entity will actually carry out. Making the right choice of license for the registered legal entity, so that you can ensure you keep your residency and can do business without problems, should be your first concern with registering a company.
