Frequently asked questions
Can I open a First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) account without a UAE residence visa?
Some banks consider non-resident company accounts, but most prefer a resident signatory. GoldenKey usually processes your investor visa before the bank file for that reason.
What if First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) declines my application?
We ask for the reason, address it if possible and apply to a better-matched bank. A decline at one bank does not affect your request elsewhere.
How long does First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) take to open a business account?
Timelines vary with the bank's workload and the complexity of your profile. Simple service companies with a resident signatory are generally faster; trading companies with many countries of operation take longer.
Can a Romanian citizen own 100% of a company in First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB)?
Yes. Romanians can own the full share capital of a First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
How long does the process take for Romanian applicants?
As a rule, processing for Romanians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Romania that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
