The Details

Dubai Offshore (JAFZA) — The Details

JAFZA Offshore companies hold assets, shares, IP and international contracts — and stand alone among offshore structures in being able to hold title to Dubai property, which makes them the default vehicle for structured real-estate ownership.

There are no visas and no UAE operations: this is a holding and international-business instrument. For an operating company with banking and an upgrade path, see our Non-Residency Package instead.

FAQ

Common Questions

Why choose JAFZA over RAK ICC?

Primarily for Dubai real-estate ownership — JAFZA is the offshore registry Dubai Land Department accepts. For pure holdings without property, RAK ICC often prices better.

Does an offshore company get UAE residency visas?

No — offshore structures include no visas. If you want residency, our free zone Full Residency packages or the Non-Residency upgrade path are the route.

Can it open a UAE bank account?

Selectively — banks scrutinise pure offshore vehicles. We prepare the file properly and set expectations honestly; for reliable banking, the Non-Residency Package usually serves better.
