Frequently asked questions
What if Mashreq NeoBiz 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 file elsewhere.
Can I open a Mashreq NeoBiz account without a UAE residence visa?
On the ground, some banks consider non-resident company accounts, but most prefer a resident signatory. GoldenKey typically processes your investor visa before the bank application for that reason.
How long does Mashreq NeoBiz 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 Japanese citizen own 100% of a company in Mashreq NeoBiz?
Yes. Japanese nationals can own the full share capital of a Mashreq NeoBiz company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Japanese nationals need a UAE visa before applying for Mashreq NeoBiz?
No. You can apply for the licence from Japan with scanned papers, and the investor UAE residence visa is handled afterwards.
