Frequently asked questions
How many visas can I get with a DMCC Free Zone licence?
To be clear, 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.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in DMCC Free Zone?
Most DMCC Free Zone licences can be issued remotely with scanned documents and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residency visa is processed.
Can I add more activities to my DMCC Free Zone licence later?
Absolutely. 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.
Do Qataris need a UAE visa before applying for DMCC Free Zone?
No, it does not. You can apply for the licence from Qatar with scanned documents, and the investor residency visa is processed afterwards.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Qatar and the UAE?
It can. The UAE and Qatar have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
