FAQs

Is it possible to include multiple activities under a single SHAMS Free Zone license?

Yes, you can include multiple related activities under one primary license. This requires approval from SHAMS and involves an additional fee.

Can I change my business activities later?

Is it possible to start a company with my current visa?

Absolutely. SHAMS allows you to incorporate without needing a NOC from your current sponsor.

Can I run my SHAMS business from outside Sharjah?

Yes. A SHAMS free zone license lets you operate anywhere in the UAE. You only need a physical presence in the Sharjah free zone if you've bought an office package.

How quickly can I set up my company in SHAMS?

Once all documents are submitted and payments are completed for your SHAMS company setup, you could have your license and establishment documents within a few days.

How many activities can I perform under a single license in a UAE Freezone?
