Thank you to the team for supporting us with our company setup. Our case was not straightforward, especially the bank account opening, but they stayed committed and got it done.
Visa Cost
Dubai Mainland Visa Cost
A mainland residence visa typically runs from AED 3,500 to AED 5,000 per person for a 2-year permit, covering the entry permit, DHA medical, Emirates ID, mandatory health insurance, and stamping. Your company also pays a one-time establishment card of around AED 2,000 before it can sponsor anyone.
Most per-visa quotes quietly drop the establishment card, the now-mandatory health insurance line, and the gap between an entry permit and an in-UAE status change. We itemise the full per-person figure and tie quota to your Ejari office, not a free-zone bundle. If a free zone genuinely sponsors your team cheaper, we'll say so.
Per visa
What each visa actually costs
One establishment card unlocks sponsorship for the whole company. After that, each visa is its own stack of separate government fees.
| Setup type | Estimated cost |
|---|---|
| Establishment card (one-time, per company) | AED 2,000 |
| Entry permit or in-country status change | AED 700 – 1,100 |
| DHA medical fitness test | AED 320 – 700 |
| Emirates ID (2-year) | AED 370 |
| Mandatory health insurance | AED 700 – 1,800 |
| Visa stamping | AED 500 – 700 |
| MOHRE labour card + work permit (staff visas only) | AED 2,000 – 3,000 |
| Indicative total per person, 2-year visa | AED 3,500 – 5,000 |
Investor and partner visas skip the MOHRE labour card, so they land at the lower end. Staff visas carry it, which is the main reason a staff visa costs more than an investor visa on paper.

They confirmed our activity grouping before filing and flagged an issue the bank would have raised. Licensed in under two weeks with no surprises on the invoice.

We came for a mainland LLC and stayed for renewals and PRO work. The same team answers the phone after the license is issued, which is rare here.
