UMM Al Quwain Free Zone

When Umm al Quwain launched a Free Zone area named UAQ (Umm al Quwain Free Zone) for the first time, many people might not have heard about the Emirate of Umm Al Quwain. UAQ is located between Ras Al Khaimah and Ajman. It’s developing very quickly and improving business day by day. It’s a smaller area than other Emirates states. It’s easy to set up a company in Umm Al Quwain, and a bank account will be opened at any bank in Dubai as per your requirements.
The process is very easy to provide basic documents like a Passport copy, a Photo, and a utility bill. UAQ offers various packages, including zero visas, 1 visa, 2 visas, and 3 visa packages. Even if the investor starts a business with a zero visa package and needs a visa at any point, you can upgrade your trade license with a visa option.
UAQ offers a completely remote system for setting up a company in the Umm Al Quwain Free Zone. The investor doesn’t need to visit the free zone personally. You can hire us as a business consultant PRO and order a setup abroad. Only you have to sign our incorporation documents, and the company will be formed within two working days.
