Frequently Asked Questions
Type of Companies
We have Helped to Setup Businesses
Yes. In most cases Delhi-based entrepreneurs can complete the entire company formation process remotely -without a single trip to Dubai. Document submission, government approvals, trade license issuance, and visa processing can all be handled digitally. Alchemist Corporate Services manages the entire process on your behalf, keeping you updated at every stage from our offices in both India and Dubai.
Dubai is approximately 3 to 3.5 hours by direct flight from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport -one of the shortest international routes from India's capital to a major global business hub. Multiple daily direct flights operate between Delhi and Dubai, making it highly convenient for Delhi-based entrepreneurs to visit their UAE business when needed.
The total cost depends on your chosen jurisdiction -Mainland or Free Zone -the type of trade license required, the number of visas needed, and your office space arrangement. Free Zone setups typically start from AED 12,000 to AED 20,000 for basic packages. Contact Alchemist for a transparent, no-hidden-charges quote tailored to your specific business activity and budget.
Free Zone company formations are typically completed within 3 to 7 working days. Mainland setups usually take 7 to 14 working days depending on the business activity and approvals required. With our end-to-end support and physical presence in both India and Dubai, the process is significantly faster and smoother than managing it independently.
Yes. Indian nationals -including those based in Delhi -can own 100% of their UAE company. This now applies to both Free Zone companies and most Mainland business activities following recent UAE regulatory reforms. There is no longer a requirement for a UAE national partner or local sponsor for the majority of business categories.
A Dubai Mainland company gives you unrestricted access to the UAE local market, the ability to bid for government contracts, and flexibility to operate from any location in the UAE. A Free Zone company offers 100% foreign ownership, 0% corporate and personal income tax, customs duty exemptions, and a faster setup process -but trading directly within the UAE market may require a local distributor. The right choice depends on your business activity and target customers. Our consultants can advise you specifically.
Standard documents required include a valid passport copy, recent passport-size photographs, proof of residential address in Delhi or India, and a brief description of your intended business activities. Certain professions or business types may additionally require degree certificates, professional qualification certificates, or experience letters. Our team provides a complete document checklist tailored to your specific situation.
Delhi has strong business communities across handicrafts, medical devices, textiles, medicated cosmetics, spices and agro products, edtech, logistics, e-commerce, IT consultancy, and AI solutions -all of which have significant market demand in Dubai and the wider GCC. Our team has specific experience supporting Delhi-based entrepreneurs across each of these sectors.
UAE companies benefit from 0% personal income tax, 0% capital gains tax, and 0% capital tax. A 5% VAT applies to qualifying goods and services. UAE Corporate Tax at 9% applies to mainland businesses with taxable income exceeding AED 375,000 -though many Free Zone qualifying activities may be eligible for 0% corporate tax. Tax registration is mandatory regardless of your applicable rate, and delayed registration carries an AED 10,000 penalty.
Yes. The India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which came into force in 2022, provides significant tariff reductions on hundreds of goods traded between India and the UAE. For Delhi-based businesses trading in sectors like textiles, handicrafts, food products, or manufactured goods, CEPA can substantially reduce costs and improve margins when selling into the UAE market.
Yes. The UAE-India Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) ensures that income earned in the UAE is not subject to double taxation in India -subject to tax residency conditions and the nature of the income. We recommend discussing your specific structure with our advisors before incorporating to ensure you are correctly positioned under the DTAA.
Yes. Alchemist Corporate Services provides complete UAE corporate bank account opening assistance for Delhi-based entrepreneurs. We guide you through bank selection, prepare your documentation, manage the application, and ensure full KYC and AML compliance -significantly improving the likelihood of a successful account opening without requiring you to travel to Dubai.
Yes. The UAE has an open repatriation policy with no currency controls. Delhi-based entrepreneurs can freely transfer profits and invested capital from their UAE company back to India. UAE banks provide full support for international transfers, and the process is straightforward with proper documentation.
Delhi entrepreneurs setting up a UAE company can apply for an investor visa, an employment visa, or -for qualifying investors -a UAE Golden Visa valid for 10 years. The visa type you are eligible for depends on your level of investment and business structure. Alchemist Corporate Services manages the complete visa application process alongside your business setup.
The best Free Zone depends entirely on your business activity, budget, and operational requirements. Popular choices for Indian entrepreneurs include IFZA and Meydan Free Zone for affordable setups, DMCC for commodities and trading, JAFZA for logistics and manufacturing, and DAFZA for aviation-linked businesses. Delhi's strong manufacturing and trading sector means JAFZA, DMCC, or IFZA are frequently the best fit -but our consultants will give you a specific recommendation based on your business plan.
Yes. Alchemist Corporate Services has a physical office in India and our team is available to support entrepreneurs across India including Delhi. You can connect with us remotely or in person, and our Dubai office handles all UAE-side processing -approvals, PRO services, visa applications, and corporate bank account assistance -on your behalf.
