SPC Free Zone in practice

Worth knowing before you choose.

  1. 01

    Residency in five working days

    Once the licence is issued, SPC runs the residence visa in about five working days.

  2. 02

    Send the originals on time

    Original documents must reach SPC within two months of the licence being issued, or the licence is revoked. We put the date in your compliance calendar on day one.

  3. 03

    One figure, confirmed in writing

    SPC publishes more than one base licence price. We confirm the figure in writing before your licence is issued.

  4. 04

    Not a VAT Designated Zone

    SPC suits trading that is invoiced and shipped. If goods physically clear a UAE port, Ajman Free Zone or a RAKEZ designated district is the better structure.
