Leave New Zealand’s 39% Tax Behind,
Get Your Free Dubai Residency Visa

Most clients are fully operational in Dubai within 3 to 4 weeks. That covers your trade license, residency visa, Emirates ID and bank application support.

The exact timeline depends on your Free Zone and how quickly documents come back. We give you a realistic breakdown from day one.

No, most of the process is handled remotely. A passport copy and a few details are all we need to get started.

You will need one short visit of 2 to 3 days for your visa medical, biometrics and bank application. Many New Zealanders do it in a single trip, with a direct flight of around 17 hours from Auckland.

New Zealand personal income tax reaches 39% on income over NZ$180,000, company tax is 28%, and residential property sold within 2 years is taxed at your marginal rate under the bright-line test. Add 15% GST on most spending, and the overall burden stays high.

A qualifying Dubai Free Zone company can offer 0% personal income tax, 0% corporate tax on eligible income and 0% capital gains tax, fully legally, with the right structure and a genuine exit from the New Zealand tax system.

Yes, with proper structuring and a genuine exit from the New Zealand tax system. New Zealand taxes its residents on worldwide income, so a clean break from New Zealand tax residency is essential: generally more than 325 days away in a 12-month period and no permanent place of abode in New Zealand. Tax outcomes depend on your circumstances, and we always recommend working alongside a New Zealand tax professional on your exit plan.

On your call, we walk through exactly what is required for your situation.

Free Zones are the most popular choice for New Zealand entrepreneurs: 100% foreign ownership, 0% corporate tax on qualifying income and a faster setup. They suit online businesses, consultants, coaches, e-commerce and international trade.

Mainland is better if you plan to trade directly within the UAE market. We recommend the right structure on your strategy call.

Many setup companies hand you a package and disappear. Our founders relocated themselves, so every process we run has been lived, not just learned.

We handle the full picture, from licensing and structuring to residency and banking, with real consultants, Free Zone partnerships and transparent pricing. No hidden fees and no upsells.

You will need to be in Dubai in person to open your business bank account. This is a UAE banking requirement, not a GenZone limitation.

We provide bank application support with Emirates NBD, Mashreq and Wio, and guide you through every step to give your application the best chance. Final approval always rests with the bank.

Costs depend on your business activity, license type and number of visas. Our all-inclusive Free Zone packages with one visa typically start from around $8,500.

We give you a full cost breakdown, including annual fees, on your free strategy call, so there are no surprises.

Yes. Once you hold a UAE residency visa, you can sponsor your spouse and dependent children for their own residency visas. GenZone manages the full family visa process as part of our premium package.

Yes. GenZone provides ongoing compliance support, license and visa renewals, banking assistance and advisory services.

We are not a one-transaction agency; many clients have been with us for years.
