Why the UAE

Crucially, the UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, and that is why so many company owners choose it as a base for UAE Freelance Visa. Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so UAE Freelance Visa no longer requires a local partner.
