About Dubai
Why Dubai
Mainland company formation in Dubai is the right choice when your customers are inside the UAE, when you need a shop, clinic or contracting classification, or when visa quota matters. Choosing Dubai mainland gives you a licence that landlords, government departments and large corporate clients recognise without a second thought. On the ground, payments between Vietnam and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Vietnamese dong (VND) transfers settle promptly and UAE banks are familiar with Vietnamese business profiles. On the ground, vietnamese nationals are a young community in trading, IT outsourcing and hospitality, so the Dubai authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Vietnamese applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Dubai mainland licences are granted by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), which currently processes most standard files in around 4 working days (Monday to Friday). In short, among the strengths of a Dubai mainland licence are unrestricted UAE-wide trading and Government and corporate tenders, so local service businesses gravitate here. GoldenKey has prepared Dubai files for Vietnamese customers in electronics, textiles, agricultural exports and IT outsourcing, which means we know which Vietnam supporting documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

View all FAQsHow long does Dubai mainland company formation take?
In short, with documents and a tenancy contract ready, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) typically issues the licence within 4 working days (Monday to Friday). External approvals for regulated activities add time.
How much office space do I need for a Dubai mainland licence?
Crucially, 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.
Do I still need an Emirati partner for a Dubai mainland company?
For most clients, for most commercial and industrial activities, no. Since 2021 foreign nationals can own 100% of a Dubai mainland LLC. A short list of strategic activities still requires Emirati participation, and GoldenKey checks your activity before you commit.
Can a Vietnamese citizen own 100% of a company in Dubai?
Yes. Vietnamese nationals can own the full share capital of a Dubai company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Vietnamese nationals need a UAE visa before applying for Dubai?
No. You can apply for the licence from Vietnam with scanned supporting documents, and the investor residence visa is completed afterwards.
