International founder FAQ

Questions to answer before you travel.

Can I begin setting up a UAE company from abroad?

Some licensing stages can begin remotely, depending on the authority, activity, legal form and documents. Kinzaad will identify which parts may start before travel.

Which stages may require me to visit the UAE?

Residence visa medical screening and biometrics require presence. Some banking, signing or authority stages may also require a visit.

What documents should I prepare in my home country?

Requirements vary by owner type, legal form, activity and authority. Kinzaad will provide the relevant list and identify whether attestation or translation applies.

Mainland or free zone—which should I consider?

The right route depends on the activity, intended customers, workspace, visa plan and authority rules. Neither route is universally better.

Can Kinzaad guarantee a corporate bank account?

No consultancy can guarantee approval. Kinzaad can prepare the company and banking file while the bank performs its own review.

Can an international founder own 100% of the company?

Foreign ownership is available for many mainland and free-zone activities. The exact position must be checked against the chosen activity, authority and legal form.
