FAQs
Can international investors fully own an LLC in Dubai?
Yes, absolutely! Starting June 1, 2021, the UAE introduced major changes to its business laws. One of the biggest updates is that foreign investors can now fully own companies in most sectors, including in mainland Dubai, without needing a local partner. You no longer need a local sponsor (UAE national with 51% shares) for most business activities. Now, foreign investors can own 100% of their LLC in many sectors. However, a few important sectors still have special rules.
What are the required documents for an LLC company setup in Dubai?
The required documents can change based on your case, but here are the common ones:
- Passport copies of investor’s passport
- Emirates ID (if you’re a UAE resident)
- Entry visa or visit visa copy (if you’re already in the UAE)
- NOC (No Objection Certificate) if you’re working in the UAE
- A list of trade name options for your company
- A clear description of your business activity
- Office rental contract with Ejari registration
Do I need to be physically present in Dubai to start the LLC formation process?
Not always. Some steps can be done remotely if you have a trusted business setup consultant. But for certain parts, like opening a bank account or getting your visa stamped, you may need to be in Dubai.
A good setup company can handle most of the work for you and make the process easier.
