FAQs: IFZA Free Zone Company Setup
Find answers to common questions about setting up your company in IFZA Dubai Free Zone.
How long does IFZA company setup take?
IFZA offers one of the fastest setup times in Dubai, with most companies registered within 5–7 working days from complete document submission. With our express processing service, this can be reduced to 3–4 days for urgent cases.
What makes IFZA different from other Dubai free zones?
IFZA stands out for competitive pricing, wide activity coverage (2,000+ business activities), fast processing times, flexible office solutions, and excellent digital customer service. It's particularly popular for e-commerce, trading, and consulting businesses.
How many visas can I get with my IFZA license?
Visa allocation depends on your package. Starter packages include 1 investor visa, while business packages include 2+ employee visas. Additional visas can be applied for based on your office space and business requirements — there's no fixed limit, it scales with your business growth.
Do I need to visit Dubai for IFZA setup?
No, the entire setup process can be completed remotely. With Aventys as your local partner, we can act on your behalf with a Power of Attorney. The only step requiring physical presence is visa biometrics and medical testing, which happens after licence issuance.
What is the annual renewal cost for an IFZA license?
Annual renewal costs vary by package but typically range from AED 7,000 to AED 15,000 depending on your licence type, office solution, and number of visas. We offer discounted renewal packages for our clients and handle all renewal procedures on your behalf.
Can I change my business activity after setup?
Yes, you can add or change business activities after initial setup. This requires submitting an application to IFZA with relevant documents for the new activity. The process takes 3–5 working days and incurs a modification fee. Some activities may require additional approvals.
Is office space mandatory in IFZA?
IFZA offers flexible office solutions to suit different needs and budgets: a Virtual Office for businesses operating remotely, a Flexi-Desk with shared, part-time access, or a Private Office for dedicated physical space. The choice affects your visa quota and overall package cost.
Can I open a corporate bank account with an IFZA license?
Yes, IFZA license holders can open corporate bank accounts with major UAE banks. We assist with the entire process, including document preparation and bank introductions. Requirements vary by bank but typically include your IFZA license, passport copies, business plan, and proof of address.
