If you are serious about building a future in the UAE, FormUAE is your trusted partner.

Company formation in the UAE

At FormUAE, we specialize in setting up companies in the UAE, with a sharp focus on serving European professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors.

We don’t cut corners. Every setup is done through licensed free zones we trust, where we’re authorized to act on your behalf and ensure full compliance. This gives you faster processing, direct support, and the highest chance of approval — especially when it comes to banking.

While it’s possible to go for cheaper options, we strongly advise against it. Without proper authorization, we cannot handle your case directly, and you risk unnecessary delays, rejected documents, or difficulties opening a company bank account.

We only take on clients when we know we can deliver the result — clean, legal, and built to last.

Tax & VAT

The UAE offers one of the most attractive tax environments in the world.

A standard 5% VAT applies to most goods and services purchased in the country. Businesses are required to register for VAT once they cross the official revenue threshold.

The UAE also introduced a 9% corporate tax on annual net profit above a certain threshold. This applies only after deducting allowable business expenses, such as salaries and operational costs.

There is no personal income tax for individuals in the UAE. 

For personalized guidance, we can refer you to one of our certified tax and VAT advisors. You are welcome to schedule a call with us to review the regulations and get connected to a trusted expert.

Visa in UAE

To legally live and work in the United Arab Emirates, you must hold a valid residence visa. This visa requires a sponsor, which can be your employer, your spouse, or a company you own. At FormUAE, we help clients obtain a residence visa through their own company setup.

Another option is the UAE Golden Visa, which is available to individuals who make qualifying investments, such as in real estate. If you are considering this route, we can refer you to a trusted Scandinavian partner with expertise in UAE property investments.

It’s important to note that the UAE consists of seven emirates — including Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and others. As long as your visa is issued in one emirate, you are legally allowed to live and work anywhere in the UAE.

Also keep in mind that working on a tourist or visit visa is not permitted. Just as in European countries, proper documentation is required to live and work legally. We make sure every client is set up correctly from the start.
