How much does a freelance visa cost in UAE 2025?

As of 2025, the cost for a freelance visa in the UAE varies by emirate but generally falls between AED 1,000 to AED 3,000, depending on the services and duration you choose. I applied for mine through Dubai’s Creative Zone, and they made the process straightforward. Important: Always check with your local free zone authority as fees can change and may differ based on your profession.
