More and more Spanish entrepreneurs are interested in Dubai as a strategic destination to expand their businesses. Its attractive tax system, the possibility of operating internationally and its growing reputation as a global business hub make it an option worth considering. But is it possible to open a company in Dubai while being Spanish and living outside the Emirates? The answer is yes, although it's important to understand the key steps and requirements.
Although much of the opening process can be managed remotely (documentation, signature, approvals... ), to complete the process of obtaining an investor visa, it is mandatory to travel to Dubai at least once. This visit is necessary to:
- Perform the medical examination
- Complete biometric procedures
- Get the Emirates ID
- Stamp the visa on the passport
Once you have obtained your visa, you can return to Spain and operate your company from there without problem.
Being Spanish, you usually only need:
- Copy of the valid passport
- Passport-type photo on a white background
- Digitally signed application form
- In some cases, proof of residence or proof of address
If there are more partners, the same documentation is required for each one.
Being Spanish, you can set up a company with a visa, which allows you to obtain residence in the Emirates and operate legally. It's ideal for:
- Consultants
- E-commerce
- Marketing agencies or digital services
- Companies that offer international services
- And a wide variety of different activities
- You can have a company in UAE without having to permanently reside there
- Ideal for invoicing international clients with an optimized tax structure
- You don't need to rent a physical office (license with “flexi desk”)
- Easy maintenance from abroad
- Always work with a specialized agency or consultant
- Make sure that your activity is allowed in the chosen free zone
- Consult a tax advisor to avoid double taxation problems if you keep your tax residence in Spain
