Want to launch your company in Dubai without being there physically? In 2025, remote business setup is 100% possible. Here’s how to do it legally and efficiently.

✅ 1. Is remote company setup allowed in the UAE?

Yes. Over the past few years, many Freezones and UAE government entities have fully digitized their procedures. In 2025, you can establish a company in Dubai entirely remotely, without traveling.

📋 2. What are the requirements to start remotely?

To open a business remotely, you’ll need to:

• Choose a Freezone offering online setup (e.g., IFZA, Meydan, SPC, RAKEZ...)

• Provide a copy of your passport and an ID photo

• Sign the MOA and legal documents digitally

• Pay license fees via bank transfer

• ⚠️ A power of attorney might be required if someone is handling the process for you locally

⚠️ 3. What are the limitations?

• You can receive the license remotely, but for the investor visa, you'll need to come to Dubai for the medical test

• Most UAE banks require your physical presence to open a business account

• Certain official contracts can only be signed in person or via a notarized POA

🌍 4. Benefits of setting up remotely

• Save time and avoid travel expenses

• Fast access to a UAE company structure

• Ideal for freelancers, international investors, and startup founders

💰 5. How much does it cost?

• License without visa: starting from AED 5,500

• License with visa (to be activated later): AED 12,000 to 18,000

• Remote setup assistance: often included when working with a certified firm like SLM Consultants

🤝 6. Why work with a certified consultant like SLM?

• Direct coordination with Freezones

• Digital signatures and full tracking of your file
