Frequently asked questions
How quickly can an IFZA Offshore company be set up?
On the ground, with complete documents, incorporation usually takes 5 working days.
Can an IFZA Offshore company trade with UAE customers?
Not in that case. Offshore companies trade internationally only. For UAE customers you need a free zone or mainland licence, which GoldenKey can set up alongside the offshore company.
Does an IFZA Offshore company get residence visas?
No — Offshore companies do not sponsor visas. If you need residency, we combine the offshore holding company with a free zone company that does.
Do Greeks need a UAE visa before applying for IFZA Offshore?
No, it does not. You can apply for the licence from Greece with scanned documents, and the investor residency visa is handled afterwards.
Can a Greek citizen own 100% of a company in IFZA Offshore?
Absolutely. Greeks can own the full share capital of a IFZA Offshore company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
