REVIEWED CATALOGUE · 26 JUL 2026

See what is covered before you compare.

10 current authority records include all 9 Free Zones from the previous public catalogue, plus one additional reviewed authority. 18 dated package scenarios are represented in the Setup Plan; discovery-only records have no invented price.

CONSOLIDATED GUIDANCE · REVIEWED 2026-07-27

Compare complete routes, not isolated headline prices.

Compare reviewed Free Zone scenarios using the same activity, ownership, visa, facility and time-horizon assumptions. Authorities without a complete reusable price remain visible without an invented total.

DECISION NOTE

Compare the company and visa scope together

A visa-inclusive route may involve the licence, immigration file, applicant processing, medical examination, Emirates ID, insurance, status change and facility conditions. Compare the same applicant situation and authority scope before comparing totals.

  • Use the same visa count, current UAE immigration status and applicable processing channel.
  • Separate included, conditional and unconfirmed components.
DECISION NOTE

A Free Zone licence headline is not a whole-UAE comparison

This page compares reviewed Free Zone scenarios; it does not cover every mainland or sector-regulated licence. Start with the exact activity and legal form, then compare owners, premises, immigration and recurring scope.

  • Confirm whether a Free Zone, mainland or separately regulated route is required.
  • Compare first-year and recurring obligations separately.
DECISION NOTE

Build the total from evidence-backed components

This catalogue compares reviewed Free Zone formation scenarios; it is not a complete index of every UAE business route. The authority, activity, shareholders, visas, facility, approvals and professional services determine which components apply and which remain unknown until review.

  • Treat unknown as unavailable, never zero.
  • Require a current reviewed quote before payment.
DECISION NOTE

Cheapest is meaningful only for a matching scope

Formenzo does not rank discovery-only authorities using old or inferred prices. The comparison lists only reviewed scenarios and keeps suitability, exclusions and evidence quality visible beside the published starting amount.

  • Do not compare different visa or facility scopes.
  • Do not rank an authority whose current price is unavailable.
DECISION NOTE

Treat this as a reviewed scenario catalogue, not a complete market index

Coverage is limited to scenarios with reusable evidence; it does not represent every authority, promotion, activity or applicant. Unpriced authorities remain visible without an invented total.

  • Open the authority record and its source.
  • Reconfirm the scenario before issuing a quotation.
DECISION NOTE

Keep visa costs separate from licence-only pricing

Visa and immigration components vary by authority, applicant, location and route. A licence-only amount must not be presented as a residence-ready total, and a generic visa block must not be copied across authorities.

  • Identify the visa route and applicant count.
  • Confirm authority, immigration-channel and applicant-specific components for the exact case.

SETUP QUESTIONS

UAE Free Zone comparison answers.

Use the published scope first, then confirm the route-specific details in your Setup Plan.

What is the cheapest UAE Free Zone company setup?

The lowest published starting amount depends on the activity, visa count, facility and authority conditions. Formenzo shows each reviewed starting scope and labels items that are conditional or still unconfirmed.

Does a published Free Zone price include a residence visa?

Not always. A published licence amount may exclude visa processing, medical testing, Emirates ID, status change, establishment cards or other authority charges. Check the visa scope and exclusions before comparing totals.

Can I complete UAE company formation fully online?

Some discovery, document and payment steps can be online, but medical, biometric, signature, original-document or authority steps may require physical presence depending on the route.

Are Formenzo comparison prices guaranteed final totals?

No. They are reviewed starting scenarios, not authority approvals or locked checkout prices. A final payable amount requires current applicant details, authority confirmation and a reviewed quote.
