Business Setup from Australia
UAE Services for Australia Clients
Australian nationals are increasingly establishing UAE entities for tax efficiency, regional market access, and quality of life. Prism 7 Corporate handles every step of the process.
Country Overview
Australia & the UAE
The UAE has emerged as one of the most popular international destinations for Australian entrepreneurs and professionals — driven by zero personal income tax, a high quality of life, and a location that provides excellent access to both the Asian and European markets. Australian nationals are well-represented in the Dubai business community, with a growing presence in professional services, construction, healthcare, and financial services.
Prism 7 Corporate guides Australian nationals and Australian-registered businesses through UAE company formation, residency, and relocation — with an understanding of the specific requirements that apply to Australian clients.
Company Formation
Company Formation for Australia Clients
Australian nationals can incorporate a UAE free zone or mainland company with 100% foreign ownership. The formation process can be completed entirely remotely and typically takes 5–7 working days from document submission to licence issue. We handle trade licence selection, company documentation, apostille of Australian-issued documents, bank account introductions, and visa processing.
Free zone formation is the most popular choice for Australian businesses — it provides zero corporate tax on qualifying income, simple annual renewal, and no requirement for a UAE national partner or sponsor.
Available structures
Visa Services
Visa Services for Australia Clients
Australian passport holders receive 90-day visa-on-arrival in the UAE. For long-term residency, the UAE Golden Visa is available to qualifying investors and entrepreneurs. Company formation visas (2–3 years, renewable) are included in the standard business setup process. We assess your eligibility across all available visa routes and manage the full application on your behalf.

Relocation Services
Relocation Services for Australia Clients
Australians in Dubai often describe the lifestyle as comparable to coastal Australian cities — with better weather, no income tax, and a well-connected international airport. Dubai has a growing Australian expat community, with international schools, sports clubs, and social networks well-suited to Australian families. Our relocation team supports Australian clients through every stage of the move, from lease negotiation to school applications and vehicle registration.
How it works
PRO Services
PRO Services for Australia Clients
Running a UAE company requires ongoing compliance — annual trade licence renewals, visa renewals, Emirates ID management, and attestation of Australian documents for local official use. Australian documents require apostille from the Australian Government before UAE MOFA attestation. Our PRO team manages all of this on your behalf as part of an ongoing retainer or on a per-service basis.
