## Cheapest evidenced route and first-year cost

The lowest published like-for-like 12-month package at each visa count, among the 3 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.

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.
