How do I acquire a freelance visa in Dubai?

Here's a step-by-step guide:

• Select a licensing authority: Based on your professional activity, select a suitable free zone authority. Each free zone has different costs and requirements for the freelance permit.
• Apply for a freelance permit: Submit your application for a freelance license, along with the necessary documents. The permit allows you to work legally as a freelancer in the UAE. Usually, it takes 5-10 days to get your license. 
• Apply for a freelance visa: Once your freelance permit is approved by the chosen free zone authority, you can apply for a residence visa.
• Secure your entry permit. Then arrive in Dubai to finalize the visa application procedure, undergo medical checks, and complete other formalities.
• Undergo a medical fitness test and fingerprint record. In Dubai free zones medical insurance is also required.
• Collect your visa and start freelancing: Once approved, you will receive your visa, which is valid for 2 years.
