Individual or corporate shareholders may need passports, address evidence, board resolutions and Indian company documents. Corporate records can require notarisation, apostille or UAE embassy and Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation.

An eligible mainland LLC can apply for an establishment card and sponsor investor, partner and employee visas, subject to office space, immigration quotas and the approved business activity.

Capital and operating funds should move through documented banking channels that comply with Indian foreign-exchange rules and UAE bank checks. Founders should retain the source-of-funds and corporate approvals.

Timing depends on name approval, activity clearance, document attestation, premises and any external approvals. A straightforward application can progress quickly once all documents are complete.
