Branch of a UAE Company in Fujairah Free Zone

Existing UAE mainland or free zone companies open a Fujairah branch to serve the east coast, access port facilities or hold licences in a lower-cost zone. The process is faster than a foreign branch because documents are already in the UAE.

The problem

What usually goes wrong

  • Whether a branch or new entity is better for a second location.
  • Keeping the parent's VAT and tax filings consistent.

Limits & eligibility

Good to know

  • Free zone entities sell goods to the UAE mainland through customs or a distributor.
  • Regulated activities (food, medical, media, petroleum) need additional approvals.
  • Visa allocation follows facility size; banks decide independently on accounts.
  • Corporate tax applies at 9% above AED 375,000 profit; qualifying free zone income may be 0% subject to conditions.
