Indian entrepreneurs are the largest group forming UAE companies. We handle the whole process remotely: licence, visa, and bank account. 100% ownership, 0% personal income tax.
A short flight home, a tax-free base, and a credible international presence — it is easy to see why Indian founders choose the UAE. The best part: you can start almost the entire process from India. 100% ownership: No local partner or sponsor needed. The company is entirely yours. Done from India: Formation, licence and approvals are remote. You visit the UAE only briefly for your Emirates ID biometrics. From AED 3,500: A modest entry cost for a tax-free UAE company with global banking. Banking guidance: UAE banks scrutinise applications closely. We prepare your file to match banks that onboard your activity. Can I set up a Dubai company without leaving India? Almost entirely, yes. Formation, name reservation and licence issuance are remote. You need to be in the UAE only briefly for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics. How much does it cost from India? A RAKEZ zero-visa licence starts at AED 3,500. A one-visa setup is around AED 13,000. Use our calculator for an exact figure. Will I still pay tax in India? Possibly — it depends on your Indian residency status and where the company is controlled. UAE setup does not automatically end Indian tax residency. Take India-side advice.
