GoldenKey Analysis

Modular pricing: the calculator is the contract

IFZA abandoned bundles entirely and prices company formation the way engineers price components: a fixed core of AED 12,900 (license) plus AED 2,050 (establishment card), then AED 4,750 per visa, AED 2,000 per quota unit, AED 1,600 change of status included per visa, and AED 1,000 extra per investor visa. The consequence is that no two IFZA quotes should ever be mysterious — a three-visa company is 12,900 + 2,050 + 14,250 + 6,000 + 4,800 = AED 40,000, reproducible to the dirham on the calculator above. The strategic detail most buyers miss is quota: visas consume quota units, and buying extra units up front (AED 2,000 each) is dramatically cheaper than restructuring later. The strategic detail agencies miss telling you: investor visas carry the AED 1,000 surcharge and employee visas do not, so how you designate roles inside the same headcount changes the total. Dubai jurisdiction, wide activity list, no office requirement — IFZA's premium over the northern emirates buys flexibility that compounds as your structure gets more sophisticated.

FAQs

IFZA pricing, answered

How much does a IFZA company cost in 2026?

IFZA company setup starts from AED 12,900. Because IFZA uses a live per-visa calculator, your exact figure depends on the number of visas, quota and applicant status — the calculator on this page itemises every fee.

What's included in the IFZA entry package?

The AED 12,900 entry package covers the IFZA trade licence and the standard incorporation set. Visas, medical, Emirates ID and any add-on services are quoted separately and shown transparently before you commit.

Walk me through a 3-visa example.

License 12,900 + card 2,050 + visas 3×4,750 + quota 3×2,000 + Change of Status 3×1,600 (included per visa) = AED 40,000. The calculator shows this live.

What is 'extra quota' for?

Quota reserves future visa slots. Buying 2 visas + 4 extra quota (6 quota total) means four future hires need only visa processing, not structural changes.

When does the investor surcharge apply?

AED 1,000 extra per investor-designation visa, on top of the standard visa fee — relevant for shareholder-partners taking residency.

Is IFZA acceptance good with banks?

Yes — IFZA is among the most bank-familiar Dubai free zone licenses; we pair it with the right bank shortlist for your profile.
