How we match you to the right desk

We don't pretend Dubai is a single market. Below is exactly how your nationality + target emirate route to the specialist team you'll speak to.

KYC depth by passport (FATF-aware)

UAE-Invest uses CBUAE + FATF tiers to set onboarding depth. Tier-A is fast-track; tier-D requires enhanced due diligence; sanctioned jurisdictions cannot be onboarded.
