Simple residency procedures and a wide choice of visas: Golden Talent, Investor, Work, Freelance, and special-purpose visas.
The redomiciliation process in the UAE
- Document collection We prepare the full corporate document package and shareholder information. At this stage, a legal review is conducted to confirm eligibility for redomiciliation to the UAE, taking into account requirements of the chosen jurisdiction (Mainland or Free Zone).
- Proof of financial stability We prepare documentation confirming that the company is not in bankruptcy proceedings and has no outstanding debts to creditors or government authorities. In some Free Zones, a special auditor’s confirmation may be required.
- Preparation and issuance of Resolution & Articles of Continuation A shareholder resolution to transfer the company is drafted, along with updated incorporation documents. In certain Free Zones, a Certificate of Continuation must be issued as a preliminary confirmation.
- Submission of documents to the UAE authority We file the full application package with the Department of Economy and Tourism (for Mainland) or the administration of the chosen Free Zone. Authorities review the documents and register the company locally.
- Issuance of new corporate documents in the UAE The company receives a Certificate of Incorporation (Trade License or its equivalent), updated Articles of Association, and a full set of UAE corporate documents. From this moment, the company is officially a UAE resident entity.
“Redomiciliation is a complex and resource-intensive process that requires a deep understanding of legal and practical aspects. With professional support, however, you can benefit from this transition while minimizing risks and costs.” Sergey Kovalkov Head of International Incorporations Practice
