I'm so glad the video helped! ❤️

Thanks Mabel, very helpful! I am already in Dubai but working a normal job and doing content on the side, *hopefully* this info will be useful for me one day if I ever make the transition to fulltime

Thanks so much for the cost saving advice, I was going to use an agent but now I’ll do it for myself. I have 3 questions Is a freelancer permit and business license the same thing? A significant part of my business is doing online consultations. Can I do an online consultation with say someone in the US via zoom from my rental apartment in Dubai or do I have to “meet” the client in the free zone office? i.e do the zoom call in the free zone. 2 No one seems to be able to answer this one. A small number of my clients are actually from Dubai (I currently see them via zoom here in the UK) As I understand it with a free zone you cannot do any business within the UAE so dose that mean I cannot do anymore consultations or sell any digital products to anyone living in Dubai ? It’s only a few clients so setting up a mainland license would cost more than it would make. Hope to move there summer 25. I may be looking for social marketing for my digital products.

[@mabelgoulden872]

Hey!’ Thanks for watching! Yes essentially the same thing; they just call it freelancer because it’s 1-man package type thing! But legally it’s same in this case. Yep same as me I do everything online! I work at home from my apt in Dubai Hmm I believe it’s fine but I think you’ll need to ask the freezone itself as it depends per industry but for me I’m in marketing and I work with Dubai mainland clients Hope this helps! Please use the links in my description for more help 🩷

@ Thanks so much for getting back to me. Your videos have helped me to make up my mind I’m going to go for it and if my business grows sufficiently I’ll move to Dubai next summer. Don’t know if I’ll pull it off but it’s got me excited and motivated to grow my business so that a good thing. Gonna take your advice and setup directly with the free zone rather than using an agent. I did find out that a free zone company shouldn’t trade with the local Dubai market, this definitely applies to Dubai companies, I think, but not not 100% sure it even applies to individual UAE residents. Your video with Marie Engi was SO helpful, it introduced me to the Jumeirah area to rent a house in. From there I found Umm Suqeim next to it and I’m seeing perfect properties for me and my cat. There’s 7 organic food shops in the area and a night-time swimming/sports beach to avoid sunburn.

@ ahhh I’m so glad I could help!!! Sounds like you’ve done your research and wish you all the best!! 🙏 Please use the link in my description to be connected with my agent too!

[@Mabel956]

My name is Mabel as well, and i love your personality, am also in dubia as well

[@sayanthanam]

Guess the first thing to check with any free zone is the 'liquidation charge' and how easy it is to make an exit !!! Most Business owners are clueless as to what they are getting into until they get into a hula-hoop. Speaking from experience from the same free zone which you didn't mention in the video :) :)

[@mabelgoulden872]

So true! Thanks for watching 🤗

[@consciouselite4294]

Thank You

[@keenonyoga]

Would you say it's better to use them than SPC? or for different purposes?

[@mabelgoulden872]

I’d say different! This is great if you want for just yourself, I personally went with SPC because had employees 🙏 hope it helps!

[@TM-ok9bt]

Hey Mabel! Love your videos, thanks for this it was really helpful. Just wondered if the prices have changed as SPC free zone quoted me 14k-15k for 2 year visa but this is 12k only for 1 year?

[@mabelgoulden872]

It may have increased or depend on your industry!

[@zaxai]

Question. Is the resident visa just for the 1 year with the freelance package or is residence 2 but the license 1

[@mabelgoulden872]

Residence visa is 2 but license is annual!

[@RaeKembabazi]

Thanks for the informative video. My question is, if I use the Ajman free zone and get the freelance visa, will it help me to open a bank account? I'm a KZbin as well so intend to be doing content creation full time.

[@mabelgoulden872]

Yea it will correct :) I have another video recommending Wio bank!

[@RaeKembabazi]

Thank you 😊 ​@@mabelgoulden872

[@RaeKembabazi]

Thanks for reply. Someone told me i need an NOC to open a bank account, does this package come with it? Sorry to overask 🙈 ​@@mabelgoulden872

[@MaxSoe]

Two questions: - How often do you have to renew your visa? - Do you have to report any corporate tax?

[@timurnayin761]

If you go with this Ajman freezone can you do all the health checks etc in Dubai? Like do you ever have to go to Ajman?

[@mabelgoulden872]

I believe you can do in dubai yes

[@lakmalchathurangawg]

What is the capital amount, I m half way through and have postponed due to this

[@mabelgoulden872]

No capital amount for this one

[@nicolagustard7376]

I thought you said before spc free zone was who you were with. Can you explain the difference between the two, as I really thought SPC looked great for a freelancer. Which have you had personal experience with?

[@mabelgoulden872]

Yeah I’m with SPC still! SPC great for solo and teams, I made this video for just freelancers solo entrepreneurs no team only. Similar pricing between them. Hope it helps!

[@aminacovrkk8559]

How much I have to earn monthly so I can live normal? I mean does it have to be from 3k USD as a starting to (survive)

[@mabelgoulden872]

Hey! It really depends on lifestyle. If you’re happy to share living space, live cheaply etc, you might be okay on 8k AED. But honestly with rent prices going up, if you want to live alone you should be on 16k AED per month

[@Sonianasir99]

Can a person get a freelance visa if they are working full time remotely and the employer has no issue with them working in UAE?

[@mabelgoulden872]

You will need a NOC from employer :)

[@Punekar-om8ei]

I hear on freelance visa, bank account opening is very difficult in UAE. As we do not get a monthly salary. Is this true?

[@mabelgoulden872]

No, try Wio bank!

[@Spring66]

Hi Mabel, love your videos- sups informative! Do you know if I can sponsor my partners residency on this type of visa?

[@mabelgoulden872]

I believe you can yes!! Fill the form in the description and Ann will be able to advise based on your exact experience

[@athomp2006]

Good video, dont you need to demonstrate some years of freelancing experience in your sector and proof of earning /income over those years if your coming from overseas?

[@mabelgoulden872]

You do need to give your job history yes but is rarely an issue

[@mimico5138]

Hey, I'm resident and I'm online consultant so where do I get a permit so I can use stripe (it's not allowed to use it unless I have a freelancer license or LLC)

[@mabelgoulden872]

Yes correct you need a business license or freelance permit! You can use Ajman as mentioned in video for this

[@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments]

Are business license and freelancer permit two different things?

[@robynbrisbane]

hey! do you know if you can work as a freelancer if you’re sponsored by your partners work? looking to move over soon but not sure how that works if I wanted to be self employed🤣

[@mabelgoulden872]

Hey!! Yeah you can you just need the license without the residency visa! 🙏 (if you had a job you’d need a NOC from them but if you’re on a spouse visa I think no need)

Hey! I am interested in your opinion? If I go with SPC, do you think it is a good choice for e-commerce (Amazon or selling through Instagram)?

Yes! They have an e-commerce activity license (I have this) 🙏 use the link in my description so you’re connected with Paul from SPC
