Education Training License

Education Training License – Business Activity Guide

Getting a Education Training License is a practical route for entrepreneurs who want a compliant, fast way to start operations in the UAE. Depending on your plan, you can register on the Mainland or in a Free Zone. Free Zones typically offer flexi-desk or shared office options and straightforward packages, while Mainland entities provide broader scope for activities and government tenders. Typical timelines range from 5–10 working days once documents are ready. Core license fees usually cover the trade license and primary company documents. Immigration items—Establishment Card, status change, medicals, Emirates ID, visa stamping—can be bundled or itemized based on your needs. Initial visa quotas commonly start from 1–3 and can scale as your office allocation and team size grow. If you have a specific emirate or Free Zone in mind, we’ll compare costs, scope of activity, and visa allocation to propose the optimal route for your business. Share your budget and visa requirements, and we’ll prepare an end-to-end quote with the recommended authority, exact inclusions, and timeline so you can proceed with confidence.
