ICP governs entry permits, identity registration, Emirates ID issuance, and federal residency status across Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. ZDA coordinates federal file openings, fine exemptions, and biographical biometric scheduling directly through ICP portals.
GDRFA manages immigration, residency visas, and entry authorizations for the Emirate of Dubai. Whether you are transferring an employment visa within Dubai Mainland or renewing tourist entry status, our liaison team prepares and submits typing applications through Amer and GDRFA channels.
MOHRE regulates mainland labor relationships, company quota allocations, standard electronic job offer letters, work permits, and the Wages Protection System (WPS). We assist corporate HR departments and inbound employees in ensuring contract terms mirror federal labor decree requirements.
The UAE government enforces stringent penalties against unauthorized visa brokers, misleading 'visit visa to work visa guarantees', and illegal fee deductions from workers. ZDA Travel & Tourism strictly abides by UAE Ministerial Resolution No. 43 of 2022 and Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021.
We operate exclusively as a legitimate consultancy and documentation management agency. We do not manufacture employment quotas, sell unverified sponsorship arrangements, or make false guarantees regarding government decision-making. Every invoice itemizes official governmental fees separately from our administrative consultancy charges.

Clear, candid answers regarding fees, procedures, government authorities, and timeline expectations.
The choice depends primarily on your business model, target clientele, and geographical scope of trade. A Free Zone company offers 100% foreign ownership, simplified regulatory procedures, zero corporate tax on qualifying income, and dedicated commercial clusters. However, conducting direct retail or B2C services physically inside the UAE local market typically requires a Mainland license issued by the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). ZDA evaluates your trade activities to recommend the most cost-effective and compliant setup.
Once the formal entry permit is issued and you are present in the UAE, the medical fitness test, Emirates ID biometric typing, and final electronic residency stamping typically take between 5 to 10 business days for Free Zone jurisdictions, and 7 to 12 business days for Mainland entities. Express VIP testing options are available through authorized health authorities.

Yes. All expatriates applying for residency visas in the UAE over the age of 18 must pass a mandatory medical examination for communicable diseases (including blood tests and chest X-rays) conducted at authorized preventive health centers under the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) or Emirates Health Services (EHS).
Yes. Once your own residence visa and Emirates ID are issued, you can sponsor your spouse, dependent children, and in certain circumstances parents, provided you meet minimum salary or business investment thresholds and hold suitable registered residential accommodation (Ejari/tenancy contract).
