What are the additional expenses for freelancers?

In addition to the initial visa and permit costs, freelancers should budget for:

• Visa and permit renewal fees (required periodically).
• Office space rental (if needed, depending on the free zone’s requirements).
• Accounting and bookkeeping services (if outsourced).
• Corporate tax payments (if applicable under UAE tax regulations).
• Visa cancellation fees (if you decide to exit the UAE).
