About Dubai
Why Dubai
Day to day, choosing Dubai mainland gives you a licence that landlords, government departments and large corporate clients recognise without a second thought. A Dubai mainland licence, issued by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), lets your company trade anywhere in the UAE, bid for government work and open as many branches as you need. Oman and the UAE share a land border and extensive trade, with many Omani businesses using Dubai for international reach, which gives Omani entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Dubai licence is granted. In our experience, payments between Oman and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Omani rial (OMR) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Omani business profiles.
A Dubai mainland company can apply for an unlimited visa quota in proportion to its office space, which free zone packages cannot match. Government and semi-government tenders in Dubai require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges. For Omanis, the practical advantages of Dubai are the ease of travel between Oman and the UAE, Arabic and English are both used daily, and a banking system that processes Omani rial (OMR) transfers daily.

View all FAQsCan I convert my free zone company to a Dubai mainland company?
To be clear, you cannot convert directly, but you can open a mainland branch of your free zone company or set up a new mainland LLC and transfer the business. GoldenKey advises on the most tax-efficient route.
How long does Dubai mainland company formation take?
Crucially, with documents and a tenancy contract ready, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) typically issues the licence within 4 working days. External approvals for regulated activities add time.
How much office space do I need for a Dubai mainland licence?
The Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) requires a registered tenancy for most licences. A small office or a desk in a business centre is enough for a few visas, and the visa quota increases with the floor area.
Can a Omani citizen own 100% of a company in Dubai?
Yes. Omanis can own the full share capital of a Dubai company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
How long does the process take for Omani applicants?
For most clients, processing for Omanis follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Oman that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
