Holding Company in the UAE for South Koreans

Why IFZA Free Zone

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