IFZA Dubai
What it costs, and what we cannot tell you yet
Four categories, never one number. Three of the four are paid to somebody other than us, and separating them is the only way to see what is a fee and what is a pass-through.
The four categories
Year 1 covers setup. Year 2 is renewal, and it is a different number — which is why the two are never quoted as one.
| Category | What it covers | Paid to |
|---|---|---|
| Authority (IFZA) | Licence, registration, Establishment Card, visa allocation | IFZA |
| Government | Medical, Emirates ID, government fines | UAE government |
| Third party | Attestation, translation, courier, insurance | Providers |
| Professional fee | Our work: structure, documents, representation | YourFirm AI |
The amounts we can publish
Six lines. Every other figure comes from the Partner Portal and is quoted, not published.
| Line | Amount | Paid to | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic residence visa | AED 3,750 | IFZA | Base component only. |
| VIP entry permit | AED 2,000 | IFZA | Targets 24-hour issuance. Not guaranteed. |
| Overstay handling | AED 400 | IFZA | Per event. Settling directly with the authority avoids this service charge. |
| Overstay fine | AED 50 | UAE government | Per day, accruing until settled. |
| DNRD report | AED 600 | IFZA | First step in an absconding case. |
| Absconding case processing | AED 6,000 | IFZA | A 2.25% service fee applies on top. |
These are the only amounts verified for publication. Everything else is quoted.
And the ones we cannot
Where an amount is not verified, this site says so
These come from the IFZA Professional Partner Portal and are not public:
- IFZA package prices for 0–4 visas
- Establishment Card
- Status change
- Activities four to seven
- Renewal
- Amendments
- Liquidation
Each renders as “Current IFZA quotation required” — never a zero, never a “from” price, never a figure carried over from an older page.
Quotations are prepared by YourFirm AI through the IFZA Professional Partner Portal. Authority fees are passed through as issued.
