From flexi desk to full floor — the DMCC workspace options and the visa quota each one unlocks.
Get Free ConsultationWhatsApp UsYour DMCC office does two jobs: it satisfies the licence and it sets your visa quota. From an economical flexi desk to a full fitted floor, here are the DMCC office options in 2026 and the visa allocation each one unlocks — chosen with you by a team that works in these JLT towers daily.
| Option | Best for | Visa allocation | Indicative cost (AED/yr) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flexi desk | Start-ups, consultants, holding companies | Up to 3 | ~ 4,000 – 9,000 |
| Serviced office | Small teams wanting a private space | Scales (~1 visa / 9 sqm) | ~ 25,000 – 60,000+ |
| Physical office | Established firms, larger headcount | Highest — by floor area | Market lease + fit-out |
A flexi desk is a shared hot-desk allocation that gives you a compliant DMCC registered address and up to three residence visas at the lowest cost. It is how most new companies start, and you can upgrade later without changing your licence.
A private furnished office in a JLT tower on flexible terms — more space, a higher visa quota and a real front door, without a long fit-out. Ideal once you are hiring.
A dedicated unit you lease and fit out, offering the highest visa quotas (scaling with floor area) and full control of your space — the choice for established operations.
Office choice is the single biggest variable in your DMCC cost, and a core decision in any DMCC business setup. If you only need a permit rather than a company, see the DMCC freelance permit.
