In practice, filipinos are one of the largest communities in the UAE, estimated at around 700,000 to 1,000,000 people, so the Fujairah authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Filipino applications every day and process them without hesitation. Filipino entrepreneurs run thousands of UAE restaurants, salons, clinics and trading firms, which gives Filipino entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Fujairah licence is issued.
Why Fujairah
As a rule, fujairah mainland licences are issued by the Fujairah Municipality and Department of Industry and Economy, which currently processes most standard files in around 4 working days.

Put simply, filipino applicants benefit from the fact that Fujairah already has many Filipino shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Philippines documents and name formats instantly.
