Frequently asked questions

General

Which languages do you work in? +

Russian, English and Arabic — documents, calls and chat. Your case manager speaks your language.

How fast do you respond? +

Within 15 minutes during business hours — by phone, WhatsApp or Telegram, whichever you prefer.

Are you licensed? +

DDA Legal is the consulting arm of DDA Real Estate Group, operating in Dubai since 2022 under UAE licences. Licence details are provided on request and in the contract.

How do you charge? +

Fixed prices agreed in writing before we start. Government fees are itemized at cost — no hidden extras.

Can you work with me remotely? +

Yes. Most processes (company setup, banking pre-approval, wills drafting) start remotely; we tell you upfront which steps need your presence in the UAE.

Company setup

Freezone or Mainland — which should I choose? +

Freezone: 100% ownership, 0% tax on export activity, faster setup — best for international business. Mainland: full access to the UAE market and government tenders. We compare both against your activity on the free consultation.

How long does company setup take? +

From 10 working days for both Freezone and Mainland, excluding the corporate bank account (3–6 weeks in parallel).

Do I need to visit the UAE to open a company? +

Registration itself can run remotely with a POA. Presence is typically needed for the visa biometrics and, depending on the bank, for the account interview.

Residence visas

What qualifies for a Golden Visa? +

Property (or a portfolio) worth from 2M AED, among other routes. It gives a 10-year residence with no sponsor, and your family is included.

Can I sponsor my family? +

Yes — once you hold a residence visa and Emirates ID, you can sponsor your spouse, children and, under conditions, parents.

Do I need to be in the UAE to get the visa? +

Yes, for the medical test and biometrics. We schedule everything into one short visit.

Mortgage

Can non-residents get a UAE mortgage? +

Yes — several UAE banks finance non-residents, typically up to 50–60% of the property value. Residents can get up to 80%.

What does mortgage support cost? +

The consultation and pre-approval assessment are free. Our fee is agreed in writing depending on your case; bank fees are itemized at cost.
