FAQ

Starter Package FAQs

What is included in the Starter Package price?

The Starter Package includes freezone company formation (IFZA or equivalent), 1 investor visa (entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, stamping), Emirates ID delivery, and a bank account introduction. All government fees are included in the quoted price — no hidden charges.

Which freezone does the Starter Package use?

By default, the Starter Package uses IFZA (International Free Zone Authority) in Dubai. IFZA offers one of the best cost-to-activity-ratio profiles for new businesses. Arab First can also use SHAMS, RAKEZ, or other freezones depending on your activity and visa requirements.

Can I add more visas later?

Yes. You can add employment or investor visas at any time after your company is set up. Additional visas are processed at AED 2,500–3,500 per visa depending on the freezone and visa type. Arab First handles all additional visa processing as a standalone service.

Does the Starter Package include a physical office?

No — the Starter Package includes a registered company address (required by the freezone) but not a physical desk or private office. If you need a workspace, Arab First can add a Flexi Desk (from AED 5,000/year) or Virtual Office package.

Can I expand to mainland later if I start in a freezone?

Yes. Many businesses start in a freezone for simplicity and low cost, then add a mainland branch or Sole Establishment when they want to operate directly in the UAE market. Arab First handles the mainland expansion as a separate service.
