Visa · Company setup
We help you obtain a Remote Work Residence Visa or set up a company in the Emirates — with a case review, transparent terms and support at every stage.
For people working remotely for a company outside the UAE who want one-year residency without a local employer or sponsor.
We select a suitable jurisdiction and licence, prepare the documents and handle the company registration.
Why us
The scope of support does not change along the way. Everything below is part of every case.
You never have to explain your case again to someone new.
You see the roadmap and the stages before paying for anything.
We catch mistakes on our side, not after the application is sent.
What the support includes is put in writing.
We reach out ourselves — no need to chase us.
Once finished: what to do next and by when.
The requirements, documents and timelines on this page are verified against official UAE government publications — not third-party blogs.
We are not a partner or representative of any government authority. Final decisions are made by the competent UAE authorities.
Remote Work Residence Visa
First we check that you meet the requirements, then we prepare the route and guide you through it to residency status and Emirates ID.
we do not promise that this category applies automatically. Such cases go to manual assessment and, where appropriate, move to company setup or another suitable category.
The official GDRFA processing time for an application is around 48 hours after a complete set of documents has been submitted. The full path, including medical fitness and Emirates ID, takes longer and depends on the circumstances of the case and the availability of appointments.
An illustration of the approach. The final comparison depends on your activity and plans.
Company setup
We do not push one Free Zone on everyone. First we understand the activity, the clients, the visas and the plans, then we compare suitable options.
There is no public price for company setup: the cost depends on the jurisdiction, licence, legal form and number of visas. After the brief you receive a comparison and a proposal for your case.
How the work runs
How we work
The order is always the same: understand first, then put it in writing, then execute.
Outcomes depend on decisions made by government, registration and financial institutions. We are responsible for correct preparation, transparent communication and guiding the process.
What our work is built on
FAQ
Do not see your situation? It is usually workable — it just depends on the details.
No. The category is designed for employees of companies registered outside the UAE, so a local employer or sponsor is not required. You do need to confirm the remote nature of your work and your income.
Not automatically. The requirements describe an employee of a company outside the UAE. We assess cases involving freelancers and business owners manually and, where appropriate, suggest another route such as setting up a company in the UAE.
Usually a current employment contract and bank statements for the recent months. The exact list depends on the filing channel and the circumstances of the case, so we prepare a personalised document list before any preparation begins.
Such cases do occur, but the procedure differs from applying from abroad and depends on your current status and length of stay. It is one of the first questions we cover during the case review.
Yes. We coordinate the medical fitness test and the Emirates ID application and keep you updated on statuses until the documents are issued.
Anything outside the agreed package: opening a bank account, tax registration, accounting, office rent and external approvals. We put the scope of support, and what is charged separately, in writing before work starts.
The official GDRFA processing time for an application is around 48 hours after a complete set of documents has been submitted. The full path, including medical fitness and Emirates ID, takes longer and depends on the circumstances of the case and the availability of appointments.
That question is addressed once you hold residency status yourself. The conditions depend on the visa category and the requirements of the competent authorities — we look at it separately for your situation.
It depends on the type of activity, your client markets, your need for visas and an office, and on regulated activities. We compare 2–3 applicable options against your criteria rather than offering one zone to everyone.
The jurisdiction, licence type and activity, legal form, number of owners and residency visas, office requirements and external approvals. That is why there is no public price: after the brief you receive a comparison of options and a proposal for your case.
We assist with preparing and submitting the documents. The decision to open an account rests with the bank and we cannot guarantee it. This service is agreed and paid for separately.
Yes: the brief, the case review and document preparation are all done remotely. Some procedures require you to be present in the UAE — we tell you which ones and at what stage before work begins.
Answer a few questions and we will identify a possible route and suggest the next step.
