How much does a freelance visa cost in Dubai 2025?

The cost of a freelance visa in Dubai typically ranges from AED 7,500 to AED 9,500, depending on the free zone you choose to apply through. As someone who obtained my freelance visa last year, I suggest looking into the Dubai Creative Cluster Authority or the Dubai Media City for more affordable options. The application includes costs for the medical test and Emirates ID, so factor those in as well. Important: Always check the latest fees on the official government websites to avoid surprises.
