The UAE provides several dozen special territories, free trade zones. In these free zones a company can be registered, but it can also be registered outside free zones. With the purposes of visa obtaining, it is more reasonable to register a company particularly in one of free trade zones. Each free zone defines its prices and rules for companies. By choosing the most appropriate free zone by price and terms, you may register a company there and obtain a resident visa.

In the Arab Emirates it is also possible to register an offshore company, but such company does not grant the right for obtaining visas.

Upon obtaining a resident visa, you may also obtain visas for your relatives (parents, spouse, children, or other related persons). To do this, you must provide documents certifying blood relations, as well as statements certifying the available assets for living of relatives in the UAE, and documents certifying the available place of residence.
