Talk to a human
Jobs, visas, where to live, a company, or a property file. A person replies. The mailbox is not published here, and your note is not listed or sold.
We will never ask you to transfer money, share OTP codes, or send passport scans to “process a visa” or a licence. Confirm filings on DET, the free-zone authority, DLD and FTA.
