Freelancing in the UAE with a Dubai-based Free Zone Permit

If you have a strong desire to establish a business but are not quite sure you have sufficient funds for it, we’ve got you covered. You don’t need to stress yourself out anymore. Let us offer you a cost-effective, yet favorable, freelance permit which would enable you to bring in a lot more than you’ve ever imagined.

This freelance permit is also a great opportunity for those who are seeking to live and work in the UAE, and residents who are perpetually looking for various ways of boosting their income.

OWNERSHIP AND COST

You’ll be the sole owner of the permit which only costs AED 7,020. An additional AED 2,060 applies for issuance of an establishment card, however, it’s avoidable and depends on whether or not you need a residence visa.

JURISDICTION

Dubai South --also known as Dubai World Central-- is an ideal Free Zone Authority where a freelance permit could be acquired. We can help you select the right activity from the list of several freelance activities that are permitted at the Free Zone Authority, then obtain the permit on your behalf. The simplicity of the process and the benefits that come with the permit make it appealing to many.

OBTAINING THE PERMIT

In order to get started, you’ll need to submit the following:

  • A certified copy of your passport
  • Your resume
  • Credentials and a certificate (required in the case of some activities)
  • Copy of your passport page with UAE entry stamp on it (if applicable)
  • Visa copy (if applicable)
  • Four passport-sized photos (only if a residence visa is required)

If you’re a UAE resident, the documents mentioned below will be required as well: 

  • Emirates ID
  • Passport page with residence visa stamped on it
  • NOC from the current sponsor

The permit can be acquired on the same day of application provided if all the essential documents are submitted and subject to security clearance; the latter could take up to 3 days.

RENEWAL 

What is even better is that you’re not obliged to submit financial statements at the end of the year. All you have to do is confirm your consent to renew the permit, pay AED 7,020, and collect the renewed permit, once it’s issued – all in one day. No stress, no hassle, but speedy, and simple.
