01
Choice of Jurisdiction
The first step involves selecting the jurisdiction where the entity will be incorporated. The options include Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), or Dubai
Economic Department (DET).
02
Initial Disclosure Questionnaire
Once the jurisdiction is selected, the entity will receive an Initial Disclosure Questionnaire. This questionnaire must be completed and submitted to the Regulator for review.
03
Full Document Submission
The Regulator will review the submitted Initial Disclosure Questionnaire. During this review process, the Regulator may issue a Request for Information (RFIs) to seek clarifications regarding the application and the business model. If the Regulator is satisfied with the initial submission and any additional information provided, the Initial Approval (IA) or Approval in Principle (AAN) will be granted.
04
Initial Approval (IA) / Application
Acknowledgement Notice (AAN)
Following the IA/AAN, the entity must compile and submit a comprehensive list of documents to the regulator. This submission includes approximately 65 sets of documents, ensuring compliance with the relevant rulebooks and regulatory requirements.
05
Regulatory Evaluation
The Regulatory will evaluate the submitted documents. This step often involves multiple iterations, with the Regulator requesting amendments or additional clarifications. Typically, this process can take up to 2-3 rounds to finalize the submissions and meet all regulatory requirements.
06
Receipt of License
Upon successful completion of the evaluation process and satisfaction of all regulatory requirements, the entity will receive the VARA license, officially authorizing it to operate within the chosen jurisdiction.
