There are rules and regulations and laws getting mature on this issue. During these recent three or four years, the government has tried different VISA procedures.

Now it seems the rules are settled. The main source and the only source that I recommend to consider and stick with it is the UAEInteract web portal which is one of official UAE government portal that you can trust.

Perhaps you may know that setting up a business in UAE is not that much simple that they say. There are many things you should consider and I personally suggest to consult with a law firm before starting the process.

After all your studies, you will find out that there are different options you can choosem, based on your business nature and your plans. One of the options is setting up your business in a free zone.

However, whole UAE is a free zone, regarding of being tax free, but, free zones are like seperate islands in UAE. Each of them have their own rules, regulations and services.

One of the best free zones, that I have setup my business in and I have been satisfied with their very nice services, is Sharjah International Airport free zone, or simply, SAIF Zone.

Setting up a business in SAIF zone takes maximum 10 days. They have a friendly customer care center and very clean process.

If you are decided to have your business setup in UAE, I recommend you consider SAIF Zone as a good option.
