OVERVIEW

The right structure when form matters.

Offshore companies are non-resident vehicles — no UAE visa, no physical office, no local commercial activity. They are the correct tool for holding shares in UAE and foreign entities, owning property in certain emirates, IP holding, and international trade where the group substance sits elsewhere.

  • Jurisdiction fit

    RAK ICC for speed and flexibility, JAFZA Offshore for Dubai freehold property ownership, Ajman Offshore for cost-efficient holding.

  • Substance where required

    We structure with correct substance documentation for Corporate Tax and banking compliance.

  • Banking

    UAE offshore companies can open UAE and international bank accounts; we pre-qualify against each bank's offshore policy.

  • Worldwide reach

    We work with DIFC legal counsel for trust and foundation structures that pair with offshore entities.

Offshore questions.

  • Can I get a UAE residence visa through an Offshore company?

    No. Offshore companies are non-resident by design. For residency, pair an offshore entity with a free-zone or mainland entity that sponsors your visa.

  • Is UAE Offshore still useful after Corporate Tax?

    Yes, when used correctly. Pure holding activities often qualify for participation exemption; international trading entities can maintain substance elsewhere. We provide a written opinion on your specific structure.

  • Can UAE Offshore companies buy Dubai property?

    JAFZA Offshore companies can own Dubai freehold property via a standard NOC process. RAK ICC has more restricted property access; Ajman Offshore is generally not used for Dubai property.
