How many visas can you get with a UAE free-zone company?

The number of residence visas a UAE free-zone company can sponsor depends on its package and workspace. A flexi-desk package typically allows around 1 to 6 visas (Ajman NuVentures Centre goes up to 10); renting a physical office unlocks more, roughly in line with the office size. Each visa is priced as a published scenario — entry permit, medical, Emirates ID and stamping. Tell us your visa count and we confirm the exact published scenario.

How many visas each priced zone offers

The packages Formenzo prices run to different ceilings: Ajman NuVentures Centre up to 10 visas; Fujairah Creative City, SRTIP and SPC up to 6; RAKEZ and IFZA up to 4; Masdar City and Meydan up to 3 (DMCC is priced licence-only, with visas arranged separately). Above those ladders a zone will usually ask you to upgrade from the flexi-desk to a dedicated office, which unlocks more visa capacity. Pick your visa count in the calculator to see the exact published scenario per zone.

What each visa costs

Every visa is priced on top of the licence — entry permit, medical, Emirates ID and stamping — and in most zones the second visa adds less than the first because the establishment card is issued once. Per-zone visa figures are on UAE free-zone visa cost 2026; the process and eligibility are in the visa guide.

Two things founders ask

Do I need a visa at all? No — every zone sells a licence-only package and a non-resident owner keeps full ownership.

Can I add visas later? Yes — up to the package ceiling, and you can upgrade to a dedicated office later as you grow or add more visas.
