Hi everyone,

I’m looking for guidance on business registration in Dubai. I am planning to start a small company and want to understand the full process, including licensing, costs, and required documents. I’ve read that setting up in Dubai can be done through mainland or free zones such as DMCC, but I’m unsure which option is best for beginners.

Can anyone share recent experiences with company formation, visa process, and approval timelines from the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism? Any advice on avoiding common mistakes would be greatly appreciated.
