Yes, but they still have their own entity in DIFC, but again they could accept 350K but they have chosen not to do that here + they only do private banking.

I only know the rules here in Dubai, as I can see you are on the Asia website - And it is not possible to do treasures here, only private. There are different rules

Not possible anymore, and just to be sure I just called them. And it is still the same Last edited: Yesterday at 09:09

Hi, Yes, we're aware of that. However, there are several strict criteria that must be met first. To begin with, you need to invest approximately USD 4”“5 million through them, and have assets worth USD 10”“15 million. Additionally, you must be a UAE resident. We can absolutely assist you with...

Yes, you need to it there. When you do the tax filling

You should call the Belgian tax authority and ask if there have been any recent updates to your tax profile. The online portal is often delayed and not updated in real time, so calling is the only reliable way to check if there are any active remarks or restrictions. They are required to inform...

Yep, totally possible. The 6-month entry rule only applies if you hold a UAE residence visa. But you can fully own and run a Dubai company without a visa, especially through setups like RAK DAO, IFZA, or even a mainland LLC (if structured correctly). In that case, you don't have to enter the...

Hi, yes these https://www.arabbank.ae/

There are 1 bank in UAE, who can accept a US cheque - Normal processing time 3-4 week to clear the cheque

Yes, thats correct. 50 % was earlier, but that is changed. You dont need to do that anymore.

There are no false information, this is the process. The document, you get from the developer is a Oqood (so you can call the document what you want) but the process, is that you need that document, before you can apply for the golden VISA even when you haven't paid of the 1 million AED (as was...

You can do off-plan, pay 20 % downpayment + 4 % DLD of a property valued at 2 million AED. After this, then you can apply for the golden visa, you would need to get the title deed, from developer to do that. Price for a Golden Visa is around +/- 16.000 AED valid for 10 years. (best thing is you...

Depends on the volume, but Rakbank is best. They are low on KYC after approval

Yeah, just to clarify, Revolut and similar platforms can work for fiat, but they're not considered private banking or proper OTC desks. If the funds come from crypto, most of these platforms (including UAE priority accounts like ENBD or ADCB Excellency) won't be able to handle the conversion...

Thanks for sharing your perspective, but just to clarify, a proper IFZA agent typically does far more than just forward documents. A well-qualified agent will: Ӣ Advise on the correct business activities to ensure long-term compliance Ӣ Prepare and submit all required documents, including...

Totally fair, if you prefer doing it yourself, that's your call. We've just seen enough behind the scenes to know why we avoid the UK for serious structuring. Anyway, no hard feelings different paths, different playbooks. All good.

I'm always open to learning more. That said, we've set up hundreds of nominee structures over the years, including in the UK and in my experience, the UK just isn't a good choice anymore. Especially for clients who care about privacy, it's far from ideal. (This docent matter how secret the setup...

I know, but why choose UK when there is better and safer options out there. Just saying :-)

UK is not a good option anymore. The UBO rules are crazy after they have changed the law

I've worked with all three, ADGM, DIFC, and RAK ICC depending on the client's goals, and I can confirm that UAE foundations can be a solid option for asset protection, succession, and even holding crypto. A few thoughts based on experience: ADGM and DIFC are great if you want something more...
