Dubai Mainland DED
Free zone companies: 3–7 business days. Mainland structures: 2–4 weeks, depending on activity and DED approvals. DIFC and ADGM: 2–3 weeks. We provide an accurate timeline estimate at your free discovery call.
Yes. All free zone companies allow 100% foreign ownership. Following the 2021 UAE Companies Law, most mainland activities now permit full foreign ownership without a local sponsor. A small number of strategic activities still require Emirati shareholding — your consultant will confirm which category your activity falls into.
For most free zone setups, no. Around 70% of our formations complete entirely remotely. Some mainland structures and premium free zones (DIFC, ADGM) may require a one-time UAE visit. We coordinate this efficiently when required.
