Frequently asked questions
Do I ever need to visit the UAE?
Not for the company — setup is fully remote*. Only if you also want a residence visa (biometrics and medical, one short trip).
Can I run a US- or UK-facing business with it?
Yes — many founders use a UAE company for global invoicing, consulting and e-commerce.
What about taxes back home?
The UAE levies no personal income tax. US citizens remain subject to US worldwide taxation and UK residents to UK rules — take professional advice. We say this plainly because honest pages are the ones that get recommended.
