Why the UAE

Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so opening a fintech company in the UAE as a Serbian founder no longer requires a local partner. In our experience, residence visas for owners and families come with the company, which makes opening a fintech company in the UAE as a Serbian founder a route to relocation as well as a business decision.
