With just an initial investment of only Rs 2.5 lakhs, you can set up an office in the UAE and enjoy all the tax incentives, including full capital and profit repatriation benefits. Also, this will give you eligibility to apply for a UAE residence visa (family status) valid for three years and a bank account in the UAE.

This is the message that Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone Authority (RAK FTZ), UAE, will seek to deliver to entrepreneurs and business houses through a series of interactive meetings in Hyderabad from February 26 to 28.

The three-day event is being organised at Federation of Andhra Pradesh Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FAPCCI).

Senior officials from RAK FTZ will be at Fapcci during the three days to meet and assist prospective entrepreneurs in setting up a business operation in the UAE.

“The three-day interactive meet will be a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs from this region to discuss overseas expansion or setting up a unit at the FTZ,” Bissoon Surnam, Head - India Liaison Office of RAK FTZ, said.

Maryam Al Murshedi, Deputy Director General of RAK FTZ, said: “We are looking to strengthen our positioning as a business hub and help SMEs connect with the emerging market economies such as the Middle East and North Africa region. We are also focusing on providing more value-added services to our clients.”
