Routes that list this activity
A route listing the activity is a starting point. The authority confirms eligibility when you apply.
Cheapest evidenced route and first-year cost
The lowest published like-for-like 12-month package at each visa count, among the 2 free zones whose catalogue lists this activity. Each figure says who published it (the zone, a registered partner or Dubai Setup Index), with its source and the date it was checked.
Not published
None of the zones that list it publishes a comparable 12-month package price: Meydan Free Zone, Sharjah Publishing City Free Zone.
A package price is not a full setup total, and what it includes varies by zone: check the zone page before you budget. A catalogue listing is what the authority publishes, not an eligibility decision.

Free zone or mainland
- Dubai mainland under DET licenses onshore operation, but it expects Ejari-registered premises and runs longer than a free-zone desk package. A free-zone company reaches mainland clients through a distributor, DET's free-zone operating permit or branch, or a mainland licence; the activity and where the work is performed decide which.
What the authority says
Includes firms which provide performances of traditional folklore dances for private or public functions for a fee or without cost to the customer.

Can I add more activities to a Folklore Dances Performance licence later?
