DMCC Free Zone Cost & Price List

Why DMCC Free Zone

DMCC Free Zone licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date. One of the reasons we suggest DMCC Free Zone is its world's #1 free zone (Fitch), which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. Unlike some zones, DMCC Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued.

What drives the price in DMCC Free Zone

Crucially, three things move the total for DMCC Free Zone: the number of visas in the package, the office option, and whether your activity needs an external approval. The licence fee itself is fixed by the authority; everything else is a choice you make with GoldenKey, and we show the effect of each choice on the written quotation.

Hidden costs we include up front

In our experience, medical tests, Emirates ID, typing fees, courier charges and bank introduction are the items other quotations leave out. For DMCC Free Zone we list them individually so the number on our quotation is the number you actually pay.

Why the UAE

Put simply, the dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for costs of setting up in DMCC Free Zone and makes international pricing simple. In our experience, the UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international customers and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for costs of setting up in DMCC Free Zone.
