SAIF Zone Cost & Price List

Why SAIF Zone

SAIF Zone is located in Adjacent to Sharjah International Airport — direct airside access, and the licensing authority's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days. Container yard and customs clearance facilities on site. Importantly, office options in SAIF Zone range from flexi-desk, office suite, warehouse, factory unit or land lease, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs.

What the price includes

Every SAIF Zone package quoted by GoldenKey includes the trade licence, company registration, the lease for the office option in the package and our full service. Residence visas are priced per person at on request covering the entry permit, status change, medical test and Emirates ID. Annual renewal of the licence is currently on request, and our bank account introduction service is on request. Government fees change from time to time; the figures on this page are drawn from our live price list and confirmed in writing before you pay.

First year versus renewal

Your first-year cost in SAIF Zone includes one-off registration, establishment card and immigration file charges. From year two you pay the renewal fee and visa renewals only, which is why the second year is noticeably lower than the first. GoldenKey shows both figures side by side so there are no surprises twelve months later.

Hidden costs we include up front

As we tell every client, medical tests, Emirates ID, typing fees, courier charges and bank introduction are the items other quotations leave out. For SAIF Zone we list them individually so the number on our quotation is the number you actually pay.

Why the UAE

The UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international clients and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for costs of setting up in SAIF Zone. Crucially, the UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, and that is why so many founders choose it as a base for costs of setting up in SAIF Zone.
