This is not correct. I opened my company account without any investment, even without office space and it is FZ.

DMCC and DSOA are different Freezones and of course they have different prices. DMCC is the best and most reputable FZ in Dubai and that's why it is also expensive but it doesn't mean you should go with the most expensive option. It depends on your business. I believe the pricing of Fred is very...

Obviously, TW or any reputable financial institution is not going to provide any statement or promise to you. If you have all your documents and your business is legal then you can use TW without issues. Other good options: - Paysera: The biggest EMI in Lithuania. - Payoneer: USA-based...

Don't spend time with local UAE banks and none of them crypto-friendly. If they ask for a physical form of the cryptocurrency as source funds or a "stamped" document for the crypto transfer, don't suprise. Swissqoute is the best option for you. If you're going to transfer more than €500K then...

I never heard something like that. Can you provide the source?

Audit depends on the Freezone(for ex. DMCC requires) but you need accounting(at least you should keep your records).

The full(accounting, audit, office space, license, visa etc...) one year running cost will be about min 15-20 usd. You can use AstroLabs for easy and afforable setup.

Yes unfortunately, they are banning good services to rescue local banks.

I have 2 recommendations for you. Don't. Find another agent.

You can deposit 2M AED to the bank/fund and you can get a 10-year visa now. You can also withdraw the money after 2 years. It is much straightforward than Spain/Portugal but the downside is this is a residency program, not citizenship. As I mentioned before, I'm expecting a 5-10M AED threshold...

It is a very popular ETF. You can buy via almost all brokers(Interactive Brokers, Saxo, Swissqoute, etc...). If you don't know how to buy it check the bogleheads forum.

As expected, Abu Dhabi just announced their new golden visa program and it is cheaper more than 60% compared to the current one. 10-year visa for 2M AED fund/bank deposit investment. 5-year visa for 2m AED real estate investment. https://www.tamm.abudhabi/en/Golden-Visa

Vanguard LifeStrategy funds are very good. They're easier to manage but suitable for specific country residents(because they're hedged and country-specific weighted).

Nope, the fund managers will do nothing because it is a passive fund(not managed actively) and only follow the index also the index doesn't change often. Any stock can go up or down sharply but if you invest in 3500 companies in 50 countries then the sharp movement of a single company doesn't...

Nope, it is truly All World fund. Countries weighted by their market-capitalization as they should and the USA is the biggest economy. This fund even includes emerging markets. Also please note that, the fund is tracking the FTSE All-World benchmark it means the weight of the...

It depends on your risk appetite and investment horizon but no need to create a complicated/time-wasting structure. Since you're looking for something for life, I assume you're not interested in high-risk investments(stocks, exotic currencies or countries, etc..). If you're ok with a yearly...

It is called UHNWI and doesn't change per country. You can go to DIFC and check private bank HNWI requirements.

This is not correct. They already give citizenship with an invitation(called wasta) since 2000. This is a new program and you can get citizenship by real estate investment. They will announce the exact amount of real estate investment very soon. They will also give a citizenship to special...

It completely depends on your business nature. If your business falls into related activities then you have file a notification(+report probably) otherwise you don't have to do anything(no notification or report).

It applies to all companies and no need to fill if you're not dealing with the related activities.
