Common questions
Is IFZA a Dubai free zone?
Yes. IFZA companies are Dubai-registered, and visas are issued by Dubai immigration.
Can an IFZA company trade with mainland customers?
Services delivered to mainland clients are common, but selling goods directly on the mainland or opening premises there needs a mainland presence or distributor. Check your specific activity with us.
