Dubai Virtual Commercial City (VCC) is a government programme enabling non-resident entrepreneurs, freelancers, and digital businesses to obtain a Dubai business license and operate globally without relocating to the UAE or holding a residence visa.
We manage your Virtual Commercial City application end to end covering eligibility checks, activity selection, document preparation, and the digital application submission to the relevant Dubai authority.
Launched by the Government of Dubai, this initiative allows eligible non-residents to register a virtual company and receive a commercial license entirely online. It provides a recognized legal and commercial footprint in Dubai for digital and service-based activities without requiring residency.
Setup supports flexible company structures
Full foreign ownership is permitted, with no local shareholder or partner required.
The legal form available depends on the approved business activity and the licensing arrangements. Applicants should confirm the permitted entity type before proceeding with registration.
The programme focuses on digital, service, and knowledge-based work:
Verifying nationality and activity.
Preparing required ID documents.
Applying to the Dubai authority.
Final identity check and digital license receipt.
