FAQs

What is the process for getting a license in the Innovation City Free Zone?

To obtain a license in Innovation City, your company submits an incorporation application directly to the authority or through an authorized corporate services partner like Arnifi.

What are the steps involved in securing an Innovation City Seed License with 1 Visa?

The setup steps include KYC verification, initial and security approval, trade name reservation, digital document signing, commercial license issuance, establishment card processing, and final UAE residency visa stamping.

What is KYC and what documents are required?

KYC is a mandatory compliance requirement to verify shareholder identity documents, primarily requiring a valid passport copy completed through a secure digital verification link or online call.

What is initial and security approval?

Once your application is submitted, it undergoes background verification and security checks by immigration and regulatory bodies based on your selected business activities and shareholder profiles.
