Mainland LLCs, DMCC, JAFZA, DIFC and other free zones each carry a different substance and documentation expectation — 'Dubai' is not one category.
Dubai concentrates a large share of the UAE's international trading, consulting and e-commerce companies, which means providers see a high volume of Dubai-registered applicants and generally have a clear view of what a well-documented case looks like.
International trading, IT/software, consulting, e-commerce, freight and logistics.
A registered office and licence alone are rarely enough — activity needs to match the licence.
Foreign UBOs are the norm rather than the exception for Dubai entities.
Tell us about your structure, activity and payment needs — the essentials, not a full application.
We assess the structure and requirements against what providers typically accept before recommending a direction.
We identify a suitable regulated provider and explain what is realistically available for your case.
You complete official KYC/KYB directly with the regulated financial provider — not with Latynex.
The provider makes the final decision and activates the account. We stay involved if anything needs coordinating.
Latynex is not a bank or electronic money institution. Financial accounts and payment services are provided by independent, regulated financial institutions. Final eligibility and approval are determined by the selected provider, following its own KYC/KYB review.
It can. Different free zones have different substance and activity expectations, and some providers have more experience with specific zones (e.g. DMCC, JAFZA, DIFC) than others. This is assessed case by case.
No. Latynex is not a bank, EMI or payment institution. We review your case and, where suitable, introduce it to an independent, regulated financial provider who handles the account itself.
No. No introducer can guarantee a banking or payment-account decision. The provider you are introduced to runs its own KYC/KYB review and makes the final call under its own policies.
In many cases, yes — several regulated providers support fully remote onboarding for international companies. Whether it applies to your case depends on the provider, jurisdiction and risk profile.
Typically: certificate of incorporation, register of directors and shareholders, proof of UBO identity and address, a description of business activity, and evidence of source of funds. Exact requirements vary by provider.
Some providers accept certain offshore structures, usually with additional documentation on substance and source of funds. Others decline them outright. We flag this during case review before any introduction.
Once a case is referred, provider-side KYC/KYB commonly takes from a few business days to a few weeks, depending on the provider, jurisdiction and how complete the documentation is.
Setup and ongoing fees vary with jurisdiction, ownership structure, business activity, expected turnover and compliance profile. The provider discloses its fees before you proceed, and any Latynex advisory fee is disclosed separately.
No obligation — we review your case and respond with a straight answer.
