What is the process for obtaining a freelance visa in Dubai?

Obtaining a freelance visa in Dubai involves several steps, including applying through a free zone like Dubai Media City or Dubai Design District. The cost ranges from AED 7,500 to AED 10,000, depending on the free zone. As someone who went through this process last year, I recommend ensuring you have a solid business plan ready for your application. Pro tip: Be prepared for a medical test and background check as part of the process.
