Overview
What drives UAE free zone licence cost
Free zone licence cost in the UAE ranges from approximately AED 6,000 for basic zero-visa professional packages in Ajman, RAKEZ, or SPC to AED 35,000+ for premium DMCC or DIFC setups with multiple visas and general trading activities.
Advertised prices often exclude establishment card fees, immigration file opening, visa medical and Emirates ID, flexi-desk upgrades, general trading premiums, and mandatory audit fees due at renewal.
