Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Y-TCH886vsQ In this video, Aaron Henriques clears up common confusion between Visa Entitlements and Visa Applications for free zone business setups in Dubai. Many people, particularly those going through an agency, misunderstand these terms and end up feeling misled. Aaron explains how Visa Entitlements are linked to company trade licenses, allowing a certain number of sponsored visas, and the costs associated with them. He differentiates this from Visa Applications, which are individual requests for residency visas. The video also covers potential hidden costs and the importance of realistic planning, including why you can't use company visas for family members unless they work for the company.
