Frequently asked questions
How many visas can I get with a SAIF Zone licence?
In short, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. SAIF Zone packages normally 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 SAIF Zone?
Most SAIF Zone licences can be issued 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 completed.
Is an audit required for a SAIF Zone company?
Requirements vary by zone and by company size. GoldenKey will confirm the current SAIF Zone rule when we prepare your quotation, and we provide bookkeeping if you need accounts in any case for corporate tax.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Serbia and the UAE?
It can. The UAE and Serbia 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.
Can a Serbian citizen own 100% of a company in SAIF Zone?
Yes — Serbians can own the full share capital of a SAIF Zone company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
