Dubai does not impose corporate, income, or trade taxes. The only applicable tax is a 5% VAT. To fully benefit from Dubai’s tax-free regime, you may need to deregister your residency in Germany and comply with the 183-day rule, which requires staying outside of Germany for over 183 days annually. However, there are alternative tax-saving strategies available that might not necessitate moving abroad.
Yes, you can set up a business remotely from Germany through a professional service provider. You will only need to visit Dubai for your visa and Emirates ID processes, if required. This can be done either by entering with a tourist visa and converting it locally or by applying for an e-visa (entry visa) in advance, which is usually a more cost-effective option. Keep in mind that you must enter Dubai within 60 days of receiving your e-visa to avoid additional charges.
The visa process starts after the company is officially established. Upon entering Dubai, the medical examination, including a blood test and X-ray, is conducted on the first day. Standard biometrics such as an iris scan and fingerprinting are completed approximately 14 business days later (or within 5 days for express services). Visa stamping takes an additional 2–3 working days, and the Emirates ID is issued within 2 more days, which can be collected and sent to you afterward.
Free Zone Companies (FZCO) allow 100% foreign ownership and offer significant tax advantages, making them ideal for international businesses focusing on global trade. In contrast, Mainland Companies provide unrestricted access to the UAE’s local market and greater business flexibility, making them suitable for companies targeting domestic clients or operating nationwide.
Setting up a company in a free zone typically takes about 10 business days, assuming all required documents are provided as per the checklist. Issuing the Establishment Card takes an additional 3 business days. With our strong connections in various free zones, we can handle the entire setup process on your behalf without requiring your physical presence.
