FAQ – Opening a business in the United Arab Emirates for foreigners.
1. Can I open a company in the United Arab Emirates as a Polish citizen?
Yes. Polish citizens can legally establish and own businesses in the UAE, both in the Free Zone and on the Mainland.
2. Do I have to live in the Emirates to own a business?
Not always. You can start a company without permanent UAE residency, but having a residency visa makes banking, business operations, and long-term business operations much easier. Nasma will handle the entire process on your behalf without your physical presence in the UAE.
3. Is a residence visa required to start a business?
Not just for company registration. It allows you to open a bank account, rent property, and legally reside in the country without time limits.
4. How long does it take to open a company in the UAE?
Typically, it takes a few days to a few weeks. The processing time depends on the license type, location, and completeness of documents. NASMA offers its clients the opportunity to obtain a business license in 60 minutes.
5. Do I have to fly to the Emirates in person?
Business license formalities can be completed remotely. Arrival is often required for the visa process.
6. Free Zone or Mainland – what to choose?
Free Zone is suitable for consulting, online, and international businesses. Mainland is essential if you plan to serve individual clients in the UAE or operate a physical business in the local market.
7. If I have a company in the Free Zone, can I work with clients in the UAE?
Yes, primarily in a B2B model. In some cases, additional agreements or intermediary solutions are required. The scope of activity depends on the license type.
8. Can I issue invoices to customers in Poland and the European Union?
Yes. Companies registered in the UAE can legally invoice foreign customers, including those in Poland and EU countries.
9. What is the tax situation in the UAE?
The UAE has no personal income tax. Corporate income tax (CIT) has been introduced for businesses, but many businesses qualify for exemptions or low taxation. Each situation requires individual analysis.
10. Do I have to pay taxes in Poland?
This depends on your tax residency and center of vital interests. Simply having a company in the UAE does not automatically mean you are exempt from tax obligations in Poland. If you are interested in obtaining tax residency, contact a NASMA advisor to discuss the best solutions for you.
11. Do the UAE and Poland exchange tax information?
The UAE operates within an international framework for the exchange of tax information, but this is neither an automatic nor standard process. Data exchange only applies to exceptional, individually justified cases. For businesses operating properly and in compliance with regulations, the UAE remains a safe and stable business environment.
12. Can I run a business in Poland and a company in the United Arab Emirates at the same time?
Yes. Doing business in Poland and simultaneously owning a company in the UAE is fully legal and common practice.
13. Can I open a bank account for a company in the UAE?
Yes. Opening an account is possible, but banks employ strict verification procedures. Therefore, we only work with reputable banks and refer clients to the institution best suited to their business profile, significantly increasing efficiency and shortening the entire process.
14. What are the costs of starting and maintaining a business?
Costs depend on the type of license, location, number of visas, and scope of services. These include registration costs and annual operating costs.
15. Do I need to have an office in the Emirates?
Not always. You can use flexible solutions like a flexi desk or a virtual office. Mainland companies and some banks require a physical address.
16. Can I sponsor a family?
.Yes. A resident visa holder can sponsor a visa for their immediate family members.
17. Is running a business in the UAE legally safe?
Yes, provided it is properly structured and complies with regulations.
18. Is this a long-term solution?
For many entrepreneurs, yes. The UAE offers a stable and predictable business environment, but each decision should be preceded by individual analysis.
