2. Free Lifetime Residence Visa
A complimentary lifetime residence visa is the next main attraction of the October 2025 promotional package for Dubai free zones.
For new business license packages with one or more visa allocations, business owners get one free residence visa that remains valid throughout the entire lifetime of the business license.
