1

Select The Right Jurisdiction

To set up as a freelancer in Dubai, start by choosing your activity and jurisdiction. Determine the type of freelance activities you wish to pursue, such as media, technology, or education. It’s also important to decide whether you want to operate in a free zone or on the mainland, as each has its own set of regulations and benefits. Free zones often provide more streamlined processes and benefits like tax exemptions, while mainland operations offer broader market access.

Apply for a Freelance Permit

Next, apply for a freelance permit by submitting your application to the relevant authority, such as the Dubai Development Authority or a specific free zone. You will need to provide necessary documents, including your passport copy, resume, credentials, and a detailed description of your freelance activity. The permit application process ensures that your freelance work is recognized and legally sanctioned within the UAE.

Obtain a Freelance Visa

Once your freelance permit is approved, apply for a freelance visa. This visa allows you to legally reside and work in the UAE. The process includes undergoing medical tests, providing biometric data, and obtaining your Emirates ID. This step is crucial as it grants you the legal status needed to live and operate your freelance business within the country.

Set Up a Bank Account

After securing your visa, you need to set up a local bank account to manage your finances effectively. This step is essential for receiving payments and handling business expenses. To open a bank account, you will need to provide documentation such as your freelance permit, visa, and Emirates ID. A local bank account will facilitate smoother financial transactions and help you maintain proper financial management.
