Common questions
How long does VAT Registration take?
5–20 working days (FTA-dependent), assuming documents are submitted complete and correct.
Do I need to be in Dubai in person?

What happens after I submit my documents?
A dedicated consultant reviews everything, files with the relevant authority, and updates you at each milestone until completion.
