    DLS and Fred MIA

    Have you tried contacting IFZA directly? Maybe they could shed some light on the Fred/DLS situation or potentially provide some contact information? I renewed with Fred several weeks ago but once the payment was made and they confirmed they’d received funds, I didn’t hear back from them. The...

    IFZA Pro delivered my renewal docs to me today here in Dubai. I asked if he had any updates on DLS Group but sadly he didn’t. There’s a real gap in the market here for a provider with great service for sure

    I agree completely, it’s not a particularly hard task and IFZA also offer a PRO service. However, the price quoted to me by DLS included the emirates ID and visa renewal process.

    Sadly I’ve not heard from Fred/DLS since the renewal a few weeks ago. Thankfully they did renew the licence with IFZA as agreed. Looks like I’ll have to sort the visa renewal myself as I’m not getting any reply on WhatsApp, telegram or email from Dina or Fred

    You can use ifza for visa renewal. They also offer pro and emirates id service for renewal

    DLS and Fred MIA

    I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it’s not Fred running the show anymore. Historically, he always used to voice note me on WhatsApp, whereas now, it’s soley text based replies. However, it is equally entirely possible it is Fred as he has retained the same banking details in UAE and in...

    I renewed 2 weeks ago with DLS as they were cheaper than going direct to IFZA for the renewal. All went as planned and received documents etc directly from IFZA. I've messaged Fred a few times about the visa renewal but not heard anything back as of yet (not ideal)

    @Fred Is the renewal still available through you? I messaged on Whatsapp and Telegram but didn't receive a response?

    Mainland UAE company bank account?

    Personally, I don't like having Personal and Business accounts with the same bank. If they close either the Business or Personal account, you run the risk of them doing the same with the other account. I would open a Neobiz account and at least then you have a second option if anything untoward...

    Banking for Remote Work Residence Visa - UAE

    Assuming you are living in UAE and have the relevant documentation, Wio or MashreqNeo probably the easiest of the two options available for you.

    Mainland UAE company bank account?

    Wio isn't just for Free Zones, they will accept Mainland. Also another option is Mashreq Neobiz.

    Currenxie returns transfers.

    Not had issues with returned transfers but I think they must be trying alternative banking routes. Normally my same currency (GBP to GBP) wires to UAE clear in a few hours with no intermediary bank fees, however, the last transfer took 3 days and there was a small intermediary fee on the...

    UAE accounts now require EID to be maintained

    I see this as a positive step. It helps to ensure that UAE banks stay off of any black/grey lists. Simply maintain your Emirates ID, with valid UAE residency along with a UAE mobile number and this guarantees no CRS reporting as you are deemed to be a local.

    UAE tenancy contract/ejari

    Mashreq Neo didn’t ask me for personal ejari 2 years ago. Adib didn’t ask approx 3 months ago
