Frequently Asked Questions

Most setup companies hand you a package and disappear. GenZone is built differently: our founders relocated themselves, so every process we run has been lived, not just learned.

We handle the full picture: licensing, structuring, residency and banking, with real consultants, direct free zone relationships and transparent pricing. No hidden fees, no upsells, no guesswork.

Most clients are fully operational in 3 to 4 weeks. That includes the trade license, residency visa, Emirates ID and corporate bank account.

The exact timeline depends on your chosen free zone and document turnaround, but 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 going.

You will need to visit Dubai briefly (typically 2-3 days) for your visa medical, biometrics and bank account opening. Many clients combine this into one efficient trip.

Free zones offer 100% foreign ownership, 0% corporate tax and faster setup. They are ideal for online businesses, consultants, coaches, e-commerce brands and international traders. Mainland licenses are better suited if you plan to trade directly within the UAE local market.

During your consultation, we'll recommend the right structure for your specific business.

For qualifying Free Zone companies, yes, and it's fully legal. Personal income tax is 0% in the UAE. While the UAE introduced a 9% corporate tax in 2023, Free Zone businesses that meet the qualifying conditions continue to benefit from 0% corporate tax on eligible income.

During your consultation, we'll advise on whether your business qualifies and how to structure it correctly.

Yes, but physical presence in Dubai is required to open your corporate bank account. This is a UAE banking requirement, not a GenZone limitation.

We have strong relationships with multiple UAE banks, including Emirates NBD, Mashreq and Wio, and guide you through the entire process to significantly increase your approval rate.

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 provide a full cost breakdown, including ongoing annual fees, on your free strategy call, so there are no surprises.

The main recurring cost is your trade license renewal, which varies by free zone (typically $1,500-$5,000 per year, depending on your activities and free zone). Residency visas renew every two years.

We walk you through all projected costs upfront so you can plan with confidence.

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

Yes. We stay by your side beyond setup. GenZone provides ongoing compliance support, license renewals, visa renewals, additional banking assistance and advisory services.

We're not a one-transaction agency. Many clients have been with us for years.
