    What is a freelance visa and license and who can apply?

    In 2019 the UAE has opened its doors to freelancers from all over the world and from a wide range of categories, such as artists, designers, IT and media professionals, tutors and many more.

    A freelance visa is basically a residency visa that allows you to live and work in the UAE without the need for a company sponsor. It is valid for two or three years and comes alongside a freelance permit that will be issued by one of various licensing authorities.

    The best part about the UAE freelance visa is – anyone can apply! You are qualified for the freelance visa if you aspire to start your own business and work independently!

    As a freelancer in the UAE you will benefit from:

    • Being your own boss, pursuing your dreams
    • The freedom to live and travel anywhere you like
    • Securing a UAE visa for at least two years with the possibility to extend it
    • The possibility to sponsor close family members

    How to apply for a freelance visa and license?

    To apply for a freelance visa in the UAE you need to gather a range of documents and submit your application to one of the competent authorities in the freezone of your choice.

    1. First, during a consultation, we will help you choose your freelance activity, the perfect emirate for you and the licensing authority
    2. Then we apply for a freelance permit, which will allow you to work legally as a freelancer in the UAE
    3. After we receive the approval for your freelance permit, we will apply for a freelance visa which allows you to live in the UAE

    We can also assist you in renting the perfect office space, if required!

    Apart from the freelance visa application you may also want to consider the following:

    • How to open a corporate/personal account?
    • How to apply for a visa?
    • How to buy/rent property in the UAE?
    • How to relocate yourself/your family?
    • How to benefit from the tax exemption?
    • How NOT to waste a fortune on all of the above?

      How I've managed to start a business in the UK as a Russian citizen
      I have booked a consulting call with Alex in order to know how to start business in the UK. I've tried to find information in the Internet but the problem is that most of the articles were written by people who've never worked in this field. I believe that it's better to learn from those who has succeed, so I was looking for successful entrepreneurs...

      We requested Alessandro for advice on a new venture in the FINTECH area and his services are high level services. He and his team are always willing to collaborate in the study and solution of the problems that arise and providing innovative alternatives adjusted to the current reality. Reliable and highly recommended.

      Straight forward advice
      Lots of motivation and substantive knowledge! Excellent, straight forward advice from someone who clearly has the knowledge and experience. Alex makes it clear throughout the Wake Up Call that it is not easy and success will not happen overnight but shares the information and toolset to succeed.
