Visa Services 
The IFZA visa allocation is not a single fixed number. It follows the package and the workspace you choose, so a flexi-desk supports fewer visas than a private office. The practical answer is to decide how many people you will sponsor, then pick the package that carries that quota, which is the order we work in with every client.
How does the IFZA visa quota work?
IFZA, the International Free Zone Authority, prices its licences by package rather than a flat rule, and the residence visa quota is tied to that package and the facility behind it. A desk-only package suits a solo founder or small team; a larger office raises the quota. Because the quota scales with what you take, the question is never just the licence, it is the licence plus the space that matches your plan.
Do you need to be in the UAE to get the visas?
You do not need to be in the UAE to incorporate an IFZA company, which is one of its draws, but each person being sponsored completes the UAE medical and Emirates ID in country once the establishment card is issued. We schedule those steps so a relocating team lands and gets resident without a wasted trip or a long gap waiting for appointments.
What does each visa actually involve?
Every residence visa runs through the same sequence: entry permit, status change or entry, the medical fitness test, the Emirates ID biometrics, and the visa stamp. The company first needs its establishment card from the free zone. Each step has its own government fee, which is why the honest cost of a licence is always the licence plus the visas you will actually use.
How do you match the allocation to headcount?
Plan for the team you will have in twelve months, not just today, because moving to a bigger package later means a change of facility. We size the IFZA package to that number up front, so you are not capped the moment you hire. See the IFZA Free Zone page for the full picture, or compare zones on the free zones page.
What is the next step?
Tell us how many visas you expect to need and we will match the IFZA package and workspace to it, with a fixed quote. We handle the investor visa and staff visas end to end, from the establishment card to the Emirates ID. We confirm each figure against the authority that sets it, such as the UAE Government visa and Emirates ID guide, rather than quoting a blog, so the plan holds.
