Budget For These Too
A package price is where the bill starts. These are the costs that most often sit outside it, with typical amounts across UAE free zones.
Establishment Card
AED 1,500–2,500
The immigration file that lets the company sponsor visas. Paid once, then renewed with the licence.
Visa, Per Person
AED 3,500–5,000
Entry permit, status change, medical test and Emirates ID for each residence visa, unless the package is marked All-In.
E-Channel Registration
AED 2,000–2,700
Charged by some zones to open the company’s immigration account, often with a refundable deposit.
Share Capital
AED 50,000–150,000
Most zones set no paid-up minimum, but some do: DMCC AED 50,000, DSO AED 100,000 and SAIF Zone a reported AED 150,000.
Renewal Vs Launch Offers
Year Two
Many headline prices are first-year promotions. Ask for the renewal price in writing; it can be well above the launch offer.
Corporate Tax
0% Or 9%
A Qualifying Free Zone Person pays 0% on qualifying income and 9% on the rest. A free zone company that does not qualify pays 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000.

Most headline prices cover the licence and a desk. They usually leave out the establishment card (immigration file), the cost of processing each residence visa (entry permit, status change, medical test and Emirates ID), e-channel registration in some zones, any share capital the zone requires, and the gap between a first-year promotional price and the renewal price. Packages marked “All-In” on this page already include the visa costs. See “What The Headline Price Leaves Out” on this page for typical amounts.
