Please note

Before you rely on this number

  • Estimates only. These figures are indicative, based on our current rate card and IFZA's published pricing — not a warranty of final cost. Amounts may change if your setup specifications differ, or if IFZA revises its pricing.
  • Promotional pricing. Published rates may reflect a current promotional offer and are valid only for a limited period — we'll confirm current pricing when we prepare your formal engagement letter.
  • Change-of-status fee. If your residence visa is processed while you're already inside the UAE, an additional change-of-status fee of AED 1,600 applies per applicant.
  • Third-party & regulatory approval. Certain business activities require additional third-party or security approval. Where applicable, government charges start from AED 5,000 plus our service fee — these are activity-specific and confirmed during consultation, not included above.
  • Excludes VAT and third-party charges. All fees shown are exclusive of VAT and any bank, payment gateway, or other third-party charges, which are borne separately.
  • Government fees are non-refundable once paid, regardless of outcome.
  • All services are subject to KYC, due diligence and regulatory approval.
