Add one investor visa (entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, stamping) and the total becomes AED 10,800.
How long does ANCFZ company setup take?
+
ANCFZ issues the trade license in 1 business day after initial approval (1 day). A residency visa adds approximately 1 more days. Opening a UAE corporate bank account adds 12 days on top. Total from signup to funded UAE IBAN: about 14 days.
How many visas can I get with ANCFZ?
+
ANCFZ default package includes 0 visas, and the maximum allowed per license is 10. Each additional investor or employment visa costs approximately AED 5,912 including entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, and stamping.
Which UAE banks open accounts for ANCFZ companies?
+
ANCFZ companies primarily bank with RAKBANK, Mashreq NeoBiz, WIO, and Emirates NBD. Formenzo coordinates the KYC process and typical time from license issuance to funded account is 13 days. Bank approval rates vary by nationality; we pre-match you to the right bank before filing.
What business activities does ANCFZ allow?
+
ANCFZ permits approximately 10 business activities. It is best suited for freelance, consulting, ecommerce, content creator. Activities not allowed include restaurant, construction onsite — these require a UAE Mainland license.
Can I form a ANCFZ company without visiting the UAE?
+
Yes — ANCFZ formation is fully remote through Formenzo. We handle document collection, trade name reservation, MOA drafting, and submission without a UAE visit. You only come to the UAE for one day to complete the medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics — and only if you want a residency visa. The trade license itself can be issued with zero travel.
Is ANCFZ eligible for 0% UAE Corporate Tax?
+
Yes. ANCFZ is a recognized UAE Free Zone, so companies qualifying as a Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) can maintain a 0% Corporate Tax rate on qualifying income. Non-qualifying income is taxed at the standard 9% above AED 375,000. ANCFZ companies must register with the Federal Tax Authority within 3 months of incorporation — Formenzo handles this filing.
