What drives your price

  • Licence activity — regulated activities (crypto, precious metals) cost more.
  • Visa count — each visa adds a fixed block; your office type caps the quota.
  • Office choice — flexi desk is cheapest; serviced and physical offices cost more but unlock visas.
  • General Trading — broader scope adds a premium over a standard trading licence.

Ongoing / renewal cost

From year two you drop the one-off registration, so renewal (licence + desk) typically runs ~ AED 15,000 – 22,000, plus visa renewals every two years. Full detail on DMCC licence renewal.
