You withdrawed‍ the agreed amount with the banker when your business application was in the final stage⁠ and even told the banker to not share with me any updates any longer otherwise⁤ you file a complaint with the bank - as you see you are alone with⁣ your opinion - that's fine we can't satisfied anybody but maybe you think about your⁢ attitude when it's working for everybody unless for you - at least I would then︀ think about myself.

Anyway - no matter what @Kol019201 will tell you the main difference︁ is that he is patient and friendly and you are not.

We can help with︂ everything until the client turns against us - what you did.

In the end you︃ received everything including your debit card unless the ENBD Business Account because you withdrawed the︄ agreed min. balance - that's it and is exactly what @Kol019201 was willing to do.︅

I'm here to update my review. After some inconsistencies the schema works︊ well. Received the credit card without fx fees and cashed out some USD from crypto︋

**Top Service! Angefangen bei Fred, der immer erreichbar ist - sogar bis spät in die‌ Nacht.**

German:
Hallo zusammen,

mein Name ist Alex und wie folgt berichte ich von meiner‍ persönlichen Erfahrung mit Fred und der DLS-Dubai. Wir (mein Geschäftspartner und ich) waren wohn- und⁠ steueransässig auf Zypern und wollten aufgrund der Steuervorteile nach Dubai auswandern.

Als wir in Dubai⁤ angekommen sind, wurden wir am nächsten Tag abgeholt und es ging sofort los mit dem⁣ medical-test, der Beantragung der Emirates ID sowie mit der Ausstellung des E-Visums.

Ich bin froh,⁢ dass ich mich für DLS-Dubai entschieden habe.

Fred und sein gesamtes Team sind fachlich sehr︀ versiert. Die Firmengründung für unsere Firma (2 Shareholders) wurden innerhalb von nur 21 (!) Tagen︁ komplett erledigt. Darunter die Eröffnung von 2 privaten Bankkonten, 1 Geschäftskonto, die Gründung der Firma︂ sowie die Ausstellung der Emirates ID für beide Shareholder und die Ausstellung des E-Visums.

Am Ende der 21 Tage konnten wir entspannt wieder zurück fliegen und hatten alle Papiere in︃ der Tasche.

Absolut premium für mich war die intensive und persönliche 1:1 Beratung. Woanders wird︄ man da vermutlich an Mitarbeiter delegiert. Fred ist dabei total professionell und hilfsbereit, auch in︅ Bezug auf andere Fragen.

Ich kann die DLS-Dubai weiterempfehlen und stehe bei Fragen jederzeit zur︆ Verfügung.

** Top service! Starting with Fred, who is always available - even until︇ late at night. **

English:
Hello everyone,

my name is Alex and as follows I︈ will tell you about my personal experience with Fred and DLS-Dubai. We (my business partner︉ and I) were residents in Cyprus (Europe) and wanted to emigrate to Dubai because of︊ the tax advantages.

When we arrived in Dubai, we were picked up the next day︋ and immediately started with the medical test, the application for the Emirates ID and the︌ issuing of the e-Visa.

I am glad that I chose DLS-Dubai.

Fred and his entire︍ team are very knowledgeable. The company formation for our company (2 shareholders) was completed within︎ only 21 (!) Days. Including the opening of 2 private bank accounts, 1 business account,️ the establishment of the company as well as the issuance of the Emirates ID for‌ both shareholders and the issuance of the e-Visa.

At the end of the 21 days‍ we were able to fly back relaxed and had all the papers with us

The intensive and personal 1:1 advice was absolutely premium for us. In other companys you will⁠ probably be delegated to employees. Fred is totally professional and helpful, also with other questions.⁤

I can recommend DLS-Dubai and am available at any time if you have any questions.⁣

Just a quick update to my review from August https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/threads/dls-dubai-com-fred-reviews.34597/post-185110

So I can now also‌ confirm that crypto to fiat cash out is working as advertised.

Reading through the posts‍ in this thread it seems people think this is a quick and easy thing to⁠ set up and are disappointed when it takes a lot of time. It is NOT⁤ easy nor is it fast (7 months for me to get a working solution). It⁣ will take a lot of time and jumping through hoops, Fred will guide you all⁢ the way to a successful outcome but you will need godly amounts of patience, this︀ is nothing to do with Fred who works tirelessly till everything is set up, the︁ process is just slow and laborious.

Stick to the plan, be PATIENT and you will︂ get the result you want.

 

[kokolokop]

Hey, have you found a better cash out solution? Does anyone used before an OFFSHORE CITIZEN︌ guy from the youtube? I would be grateful for any advice.

hey, all of this complaint above is for⁣ sending the card abroad right? so if you are in Dubai there will be no⁢ problem or delays like in the complaint above right?

 

[Fred]

Yes - that's right.

We even refunded him⁠ the service fee so he could fly business class to Dubai to collect the card⁤ - he didn't.

A week later after the complaints here - he received the debit⁣ card from the bank.

I feel sorry for guys like you that get the opportunity⁢ ruined because of such acting of people.

 

[mike400]

Yeah only AFTER‍ I was complaining publicly and AFTER you doxed me here on this forum (posted my⁠ real name here).

This is another untrue statement from⁣ you. It wasn't a "week later", it was after much longer time and AFTER I⁢ spent literally hours on the phone trying to track the card because you or the︀ banker couldn't provide any information where the card is, not even a tracking number..

Also you forgot to mention that you promised to me several times that you will personally︁ pick up the card for me and will send it to me yourself - REMEMBER︂ THAT???

 

[Fred]

Mike that's bulls**t and we both know this - you called me︁ and made me aware of the debit card delivery issue and 1-2hours later you start︂ complaining here.

The debit card is confidential and can't be any longer picked up by︃ someone else even with a PoA it's not possible any longer.

You have a lack︄ of basic understanding of how things work in the banking industry - 1 year in︅ banking is like 10 years.

Anyway this topic is discussed till the very end already︆ several times and meanwhile everyone has understand that you are mad about waiting 2 months︇ for international ENBD debit card delivery and you blame us as a CSP for this︈ issue instead of just flying in and collecting it by yourself.

 

[JackAlabama]

I don't know what happened in your case nor is it my︁ biz but I have personally met quite a few of Freds clients in person as︂ well and everyone got what they have been promised.

But the process and working environment︃ is very challenging so hiccups and delays do and will happen especially in this crazily︄ regulated banking sphere. What works today might not work tomorrow and what seems not to︅ work may even very well do.

I was also affected by compliance traps personally (by︆ intending doing smth more complicated than it needed to be) but it seems that literally︇ everything can be resolved given enough patience and time. It helps to have a deep︈ look and think who is actually working thru the provided docs and info in order︉ to gauge the outcome.

DLS Dubai - Client Review

We found DLS (and Fred) by recommendation in an offshore‌ business Slack channel. We are were highly dubious about the various suppliers since many seem‍ like scammers or fronts, we found Fred to be no BS, German style, specific and⁠ straight to the point. We have successfully (and fairly painlessly) acquired the following within 3-4⁤ weeks.

1. Free zone company setup in Dubai
1. UAE Residence Visa and ID -⁣ 3 years validity, need to enter every 6 months or stay 6 months (weather is⁢ great in the winter)
2. UAE Bank Accounts - Business and Personal

Things to note︀ that will help you streamline the process :

1. Listen to Fred's advice on the︁ general process, he has worked out the least BS way to get things done through︂ trial and error - this is invaluable.
2. Choose the premium medical, it will save︃ you a lot of time and stress.
3. Fred's man on the ground will drive︄ you to all appointments - he is very capable and a real character, follow his︅ lead, he will try and smooth your day as much as he can.
4. The︆ residence process is fairly simple and quick. Entry Permit > Arrival > Medical > Typing︇ Centre > Immigration Centre. Don't forget to have valid PCR less than 48 hrs old︈ or they wont let you in (doesn't say on the website) and don't wear shorts︉ or beach wear (it will piss them off)
5. Banking - now its safe to︊ say banks aren't exactly stellar so expect some slowness and weird quirks here :

a) Use Fred's recommends they are slow (by European standards) and probably overworked but will get︋ s**t done.
b) Be able to demonstrate 6 month's bank statements both personal and business︌ (you can use your previous no UAE business details as your a new entity here)︍
c) Go and get a company stamp it will help with admin requests in the︎ banking process (yes they love stamps here)

The main thing is HAVE SOME PATIENCE remember️ - your moving to a new culture, a new way of working and there will‌ be red tape and a few hoops. Try to be calm. This isn't Kansas Dorothy!‍

Funny Fact : Almost all business is done via Whatsapp - get a local number⁠ at the airport

Recommend you allow 5-6 weeks in the country as a minimum to⁤ get everything complete but with some chill time as well and not be worried about⁣ dates.

Fred was contactable at all times but defo needs to take more breaks! Will⁢ definitely recommend to others.

 

[Fred]

Thanks Lee - appreciate it.

All the best for your new life in Dubai.

 

[ivars]

Want to start out with the fact that this was first encounter with offshore structuring‌ so I have no frame of reference how this supposed to work or what to‍ expect beforehand.

Found about DLS Dubai from this forum, and started the process straight away.⁠ After 1-2 weeks of business creation etc went to Dubai. You for sure need 2-4⁤ weeks in-person at least as someone else already said.
Besides some hiccups which I only⁣ assume is growing pains and Fred being overworked, I have both business and personal bank⁢ accounts.

Couple points:
- If you actually plan to live long term in Dubai and︀ have tenancy agreement, utility bills etc, this whole process can probably be done by yourself.︁ Will it be as efficient? No, but it can be done. As I don't plan︂ to stay in Dubai, Fred was essential for this.
- The "optional" health insurance which︃ needs to be paid in cash would be good to be known beforehand in one︄ of the documents.
- You might be left without passport for few days as its︅ getting residency stamp, was a bit sketched out with that. Again, would had been nice︆ to know beforehand.
- Banks and bankers can be a hit and miss, so patience︇ is necessary. Compared to nice and sleek European EMIs, online banking interfaces are not the︈ best.
- You do need local phone number, as everything happens via Whatsapp pretty much.︉
- Card deliveries are made by courier so you can arrange to collect them from︊ collection point or direct them to whatever address needed (very nice).

Other than the few︋ mishaps, Fred and the team delivered on the promises.

 

[troubled soul]

Can anyone put⁠ light on this ?
If he is lying?
anyone have problem with setup???
He posted⁤ review on paid thread so it is remove. I take a screenshot and post here.⁣

Thanks

 

[Kol019201]

I never had⁠ problems with the setup and cashed out 500k+
Most of the money I transferred to⁤ private accounts already.
Nothing got ever frozen and had no problems at all with the⁣ setup.

 

[maxmoney]

He registered a new account her at OCT just to tell that his little criminal‌ venture didn't worked out. There is no reputation on new accounts, there is no evidence‍ what so ever that he is telling the truth.

This is as useful as Trustpilot.⁠

 

[Fred]

I requested the⁠ deletion as it looks to be a fake review and when things doesn't work out⁤ much much more people would complain.

HOWEVER assuming it's a real review from a client⁣ and the Place of Living mentioned in this profile is the real one - there⁢ is ONE user where the KPI's can match - I went in touch with him︀ already an wait his feedback - I don't think it's him because he just renewed︁ his company 2 weeks ago and I NEVER have seen that someone didn't went first︂ in touch with me.

LONG STORY SHORT:
Things becoming more and more complicated and even︃ for me hard to support as it's REALLY TIME INTENSIVE - so I can imagine︄ the one or other guy looks for the shortcut and doesn't do everything like I︅ give on hand - would even say that's the majority of the guys - as︆ you have LITERALLY left and right 1000 ways how to do it HOWEVER I can't︇ take responsibility for every shady banker and method that pop's up along your way in︈ Dubai - that'w why we are all fully grown and each of us should have︉ own risk management in place.

 

[bizman]

It looks much better to let it stay and read your posts @Fred - I‌ totally agree, there would be a bunch of negative reviews and complains about your service‍ if you were that wrong with your services sold.

We have seen that a few⁠ years ago where, let's say so, this platform was used by scammers to make a⁤ quick $. I'm glad to see that we have so many honest provider of services⁣ around here, this include DLS - Dubai!

 

[Mercury]

You mentioned in a previous message⁠ that Emirates NDB is charging you 200 AED/month roughly 650 USD/year to maintain an account⁤ with them.
Would you mind sharing your total cost (company formation/maintenance, visa and substance costs,⁣ banking fees including potential minimum money required to be parked in the bank, crypto cash⁢ out commissions, ...) in order to cash out these 500K+ (I assume USD)?... excluding personal︀ travels to UAE and housing (unless mandatory for substance).

 

[Mercury]

It seems @Kol019201 doesn't want/care to answer this question for⁢ some reasons...

@Fred maybe you could help answering it in details assuming you provided the︀ service? (let's take the example of cashing out US$500K crypto)

Total costs transparency is a︁ legitimate question, and as you can see not only me is interested to know, for︂ anyone who tries with difficulty to assess if the UAE structure/solution worths the move moneywise.︃
Comprehensive costs answer will be much appreciated.

 

[icecold]

You are going off topic. To get answers⁣ you may stick to topic or open a new thread. Wonder why no MOD has⁢ brought this to your attention.
