What is an offshore company in the UAE?
An international business company registered with an offshore registry such as RAK ICC. It’s used to hold assets or trade outside the UAE, and doesn’t need an office or visas.
Can an offshore company get UAE residence visas?
No. Offshore companies can’t sponsor visas. If you need a visa, a free zone company is usually the better choice.
Can an offshore company open a UAE bank account?
Often yes, subject to the bank’s own checks. We help you prepare a strong application and introduce you to suitable banks.
Offshore or free zone: which should I choose?
Choose offshore if you only need to hold assets or trade internationally. Choose a free zone if you need an office, visas or customers in the UAE.
