Redomiciliation is a relatively new process and foreign
companies considering the United Arab Emirates should understand
the eligibility requirements and consider the steps involved.
The ease with which redomiciliation or corporate migration may
take place has significantly improved in recent years due to high
demand from corporate entities to change their jurisdiction.
The United Arab Emirates ("UAE") has numerous free zones,
each with separate laws for operation and domicile, and has become
an attractive location for redomiciliation. Companies
redomicile for multiple reasons - whether commercial, practical or
legal. Redomiciliation is still a relatively new process, so
foreign companies considering changing their domicile to the UAE
should understand the eligibility requirements and consider the
steps involved.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
