Business setup in Dubai Creek Harbour bases your company in a new waterfront Emaar district on the historic Creek, close to the airport and Downtown. It is a designated freehold area where larger apartments clear the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold, so a qualifying home and the business can sit together.

We manage the licence, the address, visas, banking and the Golden Visa in one process.
