WhatsApp quoteA SAIF Zone company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is released. Setting up a company in SAIF Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. In practice, payments between Sweden and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Swedish krona (SEK) transfers settle without delay and UAE banks are familiar with Swedish business profiles. As we tell every client, typical examples of this activity include digital printing, signage, label printing and packaging manufacturing, which can usually sit together on one SAIF Zone licence.
Why SAIF Zone
Put simply, unlike some zones, SAIF Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. Direct connection to Sharjah International Airport cargo terminal.
