Answers before the first meeting.

General

Yes. Free zone companies are fully foreign owned, and most mainland activities also allow 100% foreign ownership.

Most free zone licences are issued in 3 to 10 working days once documents are complete. Mainland and regulated activities take longer.

Free zone packages start from AED 12,500 for a Dubai South licence without visas, and AED 12,699 for the 1 Visa Package. Your proposal shows every government and professional fee.

Most free zone setups can be completed remotely. You need to be in the UAE for the visa medical test and Emirates ID biometrics.
