Why Dubai
Day to day, since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Dubai mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection entrepreneurs used to have. Dubai is the UAE's commercial capital — trade anywhere in the UAE with a Dubai DET licence, and GoldenKey registers mainland companies there with the economic department week in, week out. Crucially, lithuanian fintech and laser-technology companies serve Gulf clients from Dubai, which gives Lithuanian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Dubai licence is issued. As we tell every client, payments between Lithuania and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Lithuanian business profiles.
Day to day, businesses that benefit most from Dubai mainland licensing include retail, restaurants, contracting, real estate brokerage and consulting with government customers, because they serve customers on site across the emirate. In short, popular districts for a Dubai mainland office include Business Bay, Deira, Bur Dubai, Jumeirah Lakes Towers and Al Quoz, each with different rent levels and customer footfall. GoldenKey has prepared Dubai files for Lithuanian customers in fintech, laser technology, food exports and logistics, which means we know which Lithuania documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

View all FAQsHow much office space do I need for a Dubai mainland licence?

Yes. A mainland licence is valid across the UAE, and you can open branches in other emirates by registering with their economic departments.

In practice, processing for Lithuanians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Lithuania that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
