Setting up a company in the UAE without being present — for those living abroad
In many cases you can launch your company from your home country, through a notarised power of attorney and electronic documents. We tell you in advance what requires your presence so you can plan a single visit.
What is done remotely and what requires your presence
| Step | Remotely? |

| The consultation and choosing the path and activity | Yes |
| Preparing and signing the articles of association | Usually yes, through a notarised power of attorney |
| Submitting the application and issuing the license | Usually yes |
| The medical test and biometrics for investor residency | Requires your presence |
| Opening the bank account | Depends on the bank, and may require an interview |
The requirements vary by authority and nationality. We confirm the details before any step.

Common questions, clear answers.
Can I set up a company in the UAE from my home country?
In many cases yes through a notarised power of attorney and electronic procedures, and some residency steps require your presence.
Do I need to travel twice?
Usually a single visit is enough to finish the residency and the bank if needed. We coordinate it for you to save your time.
Does an offshore company need presence?
It doesn't require a physical office and doesn't grant residency, so most of its procedures are done remotely.
