Dear Client,

Thanks for your question!

I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

Yes, a foreigner can fully own a document clearance company in the UAE by establishing it in a free zone, which allows 100% foreign ownership.

To do this, you must obtain the appropriate business license, comply with the free zone regulations, and secure a physical office space within the zone.

Consulting with a business setup expert can help ensure you meet all necessary requirements.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED
