Q) Are JLT & DMCC two separate Free Zone entities?
A) Until January 2014, the DMCC Authority offered two types of licenses: DMCC and JLT.

From February 2014, the authority licenses all activities under the one DMCC license.

Q) What methods of payment can I use?

Q) How long does it take to set up a company under DMCC?
A) As soon as the necessary documents have been submitted online, your company can be set up within two to three weeks. In the interest of maintaining DMCC Free Zone’s reputation as the place for good business, DMCC conducts due diligence reviews as part of all company setup procedures.
