## Cheapest evidenced route and first-year cost

The lowest published like-for-like 12-month package at each visa count, among the free zone 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.

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.

Both open on IFZA (International Free Zone Authority) with one visa; change either on the next page. The setup team replies with a written quotation, and nothing is sent until you approve it.

## Free zone or mainland

- IFZA lists this activity; Ajman Free Zone does not carry it under the same name, so confirm the Ajman catalogue before switching lanes.
- We hold no Dubai DET record for this activity, so treat mainland as unverified here rather than unavailable.
