WhatsApp quoteA mainland company in Dubai can hold a mainland office, hire staff under MOHRE contracts and register with the Chamber of Commerce for tenders. A Dubai mainland licence, granted by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), lets your company trade anywhere in the UAE, bid for government work and open as many branches as you need. As we tell every client, lithuanians are a small community of fintech business owners, engineers and traders, so the Dubai authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Lithuanian applications every day and process them without hesitation. Crucially, the most common businesses Lithuanians open through GoldenKey are in fintech, laser technology, food exports and logistics, although Dubai supports almost any activity.
