Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert my Dubai offshore company into a Free Zone or mainland entity?

Yes, converting is possible, but it needs a specific legal process and approval from the relevant authority.

Will my offshore entity automatically qualify for tax exemption outside the UAE?

Not always, tax treatment depends on local laws in your home country and whether there are double taxation agreements.

Do I need to visit Dubai to complete my offshore company registration?

Usually, Dubai Setup handles incorporation remotely, and in most cases, you don’t need to travel.

How do I keep my offshore company compliant each year?

You need to renew the license annually, pay renewal fees, and stay updated with minimal filing requirements. Dubai Setup can manage it all.

Can I open a corporate bank account if I don’t have a visa in the UAE?

Yes, but it can be tougher; banks often require stronger documentation or a local contact; we help you navigate these challenges.

Can an offshore company hold real estate in Dubai?

Only JAFZA-registered offshore entities can own property in specific zones; other jurisdictions typically cannot.

Can I remain an anonymous owner of my offshore company?

Yes, in many UAE offshore jurisdictions, you can stay anonymous as the ultimate beneficial owner using nominee directors or shareholders for privacy.

How much share capital do I need for an offshore company in the UAE?

UAE law doesn’t mandate a fixed share capital, but most offshore companies issue 1,000 shares valued at AED 10 each.

Do I need to visit the UAE to register an offshore company?

Not always. RAK offshore setups let you register remotely, but jurisdictions like JAFZA require in-person signing of documents.

What can my UAE offshore company legally do?

You can use it for international trade, holding assets, owning property in approved zones, or managing intellectual property, but you can’t conduct business within the UAE mainland.
