Frequently asked questions
How long does the DMCC Free Zone licence take?
From day one, once your documents are complete, the registrar normally issues the licence within 7 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in DMCC Free Zone?
Most DMCC Free Zone licences can be granted remotely with scanned supporting documents and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residence visa is handled.
Can I open a UAE bank account with a DMCC Free Zone company?
Yes, DMCC Free Zone companies open accounts with UAE banks every day. Approval depends on the bank's compliance review of your profile, business plan and supporting documents, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
How many visas can I get with a DMCC Free Zone licence?
Visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. DMCC Free Zone packages typically start from a zero-visa option and scale to five or more visas with a physical office, and additional visas can be added later for the per-visa fee shown in our pricing.
Can I add more activities to my DMCC Free Zone licence later?
Yes. DMCC Free Zone allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few working days for a small authority fee.
