KEZAD Licence Renewal
The licence renewal picture at KEZAD, specifically: year-two economics, deadlines and the renewal file — with the numbers and sequence we use on live files.
What next November costs
Applied to Licence Renewal at KEZAD — 2026 Guide: with entry licensing from AED 13,000, expect renewal at 85–100% of the government lines, plus establishment card, any visas falling due, insurance and — for audited structures — the accountant's calendar.

Prepaying 2–3 years earns 10–20% discounts at several authorities — usually correct for stable holding structures — as every Licence Renewal at KEZAD — 2026 Guide file demonstrates.
