License Migration And Re-Domiciliation

About License Migration:

License migration refers to the process of transferring a business license from one registry to another within the country. This typically occurs when a business owner wants to relocate their company to a different registry.

The process of license migration may vary depending on the specific requirements of the respective free zone or government authority.  Generally, it involves applying, providing necessary documents, paying any applicable fees, and waiting for approval from the relevant authorities.

It is important for business owners to ensure that they comply with all the regulations and requirements set forth by the authorities to successfully migrate their license.  Failure to do so could result in delays or rejection of the application.

About Re-domiciliation:

License re-domiciliation refers to the process of transferring a company's legal registration from one jurisdiction to another.  This process allows companies to maintain their existing business operations while benefiting from the favorable business environment and regulations.

The re-domiciliation process typically involves applying to the relevant authorities along with supporting documents, such as the company's financial statements, memorandum and articles of association, and a valid license from the current jurisdiction. Once approved, the company's legal registration is transferred to the UAE, allowing it to operate in accordance with local laws and regulations.
