What does it cost to set up in DSBH?

Answer a few quick questions and get a clear, itemised estimate — flexi-desk, license, visa, and government fees, for Dubai South Business Hub’s flexi-desk packages from zero up to six visas.

Step 1 of 2

Tell us about the business

This is exactly what we ask on an initial consultation call — it's what determines your visa package and any activity-specific requirements.

Just the broad category for now — the exact activity and most suitable package are confirmed in consultation.
Used for your estimate only — doesn't change the figures below.
DSBH's flexi-desk plan runs up to 6 visas on our current access. Beyond that sits with a different Dubai South leasing team.

Dubai South Business Hub — flexi-desk & visa cost

Company Formation, Flexi Desk, Establishment Card and Visa Allocation figures are Dubai South Business Hub's own published rates — see "Please note" below for what's estimated versus confirmed.

Important

This is an estimate, not your final cost

These figures help you plan — they're not a final quotation. Pricing can change, and we're not liable for outdated figures or errors. For your exact cost, please speak to an advisor.

Please note

Before you rely on this number

  • Estimates only. These figures are indicative, based on our current rate card and Dubai South Business Hub's published pricing — not a warranty of final cost. Amounts may change if your setup specifications differ, or if DSBH revises its pricing.
  • Visa Fee breakdown. The Visa Fee shown combines DSBH's AED 4,000 visa fee with AED 1,950 for medical test, Emirates ID and visa processing — AED 5,950 per visa in total, one-time.
  • Employee Protection Insurance is shown at DSBH's mid-tier rate (AED 300 per visa, for salaries AED 5,000–15,000/month). The actual rate ranges AED 220–395 per visa depending on the employee's salary and will be confirmed for each visa during consultation.
  • When a visa itself needs renewing — separate from the annual package renewal — DSBH's own Employee Visa Renew fee (AED 5,950 per visa) becomes due when that specific visa's own validity ends, which isn't necessarily every year. It isn't included in the annual Renewal total above.
  • More than 6 visas. DSBH's flexi-desk packages beyond 6 visas sit with a different Dubai South leasing department that InCHub doesn't have direct access to — please speak to your advisor for pricing on larger packages.
  • Business activity. Dubai South Business Hub's own activity list runs to well over 600 specific activities, each with its own code and approval requirements. The exact activity match and most suitable package are confirmed with you during consultation — this calculator only asks for the broad category shown above, and is for estimation purposes only.
  • Third-party & regulatory approval. Certain activities — for example telecoms, financial services, media, or security-related activities — require additional third-party or government approval. These are activity-specific, confirmed during consultation, and not included above.
  • VAT is shown exclusive. Figures above are shown exclusive of VAT, per Dubai South Business Hub's own published fee sheet. Your formal quote/estimate, once we prepare it, will show every applicable VAT amount inclusively and itemised in full.
  • Government fees are non-refundable once paid, regardless of outcome.
  • All services are subject to KYC, due diligence and regulatory approval.
