heading: Frequently asked questions

text: Frequently asked questions What does bank account cost at DIFC in 2026? It depends on the tier, but the anchor numbers: entry licensing from AED 42,000, government visa chains ≈ AED 3,500–5,500 per person, renewals at 85–100% of year-one lines. Your written quotation prices the bank account component exactly. Applied to Bank Account, the specifics get fixed inside your GoldenKey quotation rather than left to assumption.

The essentials: how banks receive this zone's licences and how we build the file. DIFC runs entry licensing from AED 42,000 with ~2–4 weeks-day issuance, and GoldenKey handles the bank account file end to end from inside Ajman Free Zone.
