How long is a UAE free-zone licence valid?

A UAE free-zone trade licence is normally valid for one year and renewed annually. Some zones offer multi-year licences of two to five years, often at a discount. Residence visas issued under the licence are usually valid for two years. We confirm the exact term and renewal cost in writing before you commit.
