Fintech & Payments in the UAE for Croatians

Why DMCC Free Zone

Unlike some zones, DMCC Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. Office options in DMCC Free Zone range from flexi-desk, office suite, showroom or warehouse, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs.
