List of PRO services in Dubai
A full PRO service in Dubai covers ten areas: company documentation, licensing, visas and residency, employee administration, attestation and legalisation, legal translation, contracts and agreements, business amendments, corporate bank account documentation, and document collection and delivery. THAJ handles each of those individually or as a package. VAT and corporate tax are not on that list as a THAJ product: we connect you with licensed accounting and tax partners.

VAT & Corporate Tax Support
Get connected with our licensed accounting and tax partners for VAT registration, Corporate Tax registration, return filing and bookkeeping. The thresholds below are the Federal Tax Authority’s rules, so you know when a partner conversation is due. THAJ does not file the returns.
- Corporate Tax registration with the Federal Tax Authority is required for taxable persons. The FTA publishes an AED 10,000 late-registration penalty for natural persons.
- VAT registration is mandatory above AED 375,000 in taxable supplies and imports, and voluntary above AED 187,500.
- Return filing, bookkeeping, amendments and de-registration sit with the licensed partner, not with THAJ as a tax firm.
PRO services for Indians in Dubai
Indian nationals follow the same UAE visa, labour and licensing procedures as every other nationality; there is no India-specific PRO process. What differs is the paperwork from India: Indian-issued degrees and marriage or birth certificates usually need attestation and, where required, legal translation before a UAE authority accepts them.
- Attestation and legalisation of Indian educational, marriage and birth certificates for UAE submission
- Legal translation where the authority requires it
- Investor, partner, employee and family residence visas, with Emirates ID
- Sponsorship files for a spouse, children or parents
- Trade licence and establishment card paperwork for Indian-owned companies, plus an introduction to licensed partners when VAT or corporate tax registration is due
- Help in English, Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil
Fees are quoted after we see the documents; government and attestation fees are billed at cost. See PRO pricing. Planning long-term residency as well? Read the UAE Golden Visa for Indian citizens guide.
Documents to keep ready
- Trade licence and establishment card
- Memorandum of Association
- Passport, visa and Emirates ID copies of owners and staff
- Tenancy contract (Ejari) where required
- Employment contracts and salary details
Frequently asked questions
Which PRO services does a new company need first?
Usually the trade licence, establishment card, investor or partner visa, then employee visas and work permits. When VAT or corporate tax registration is due, THAJ connects you with licensed accounting and tax partners rather than filing the tax itself.
Do you handle visa cancellations?
Yes — cancellations for employees, investors and family members, coordinated with the related labour and residency steps.
Can you help with attestation of certificates from India or other countries?
Yes. We coordinate attestation, legalisation and legal translation so documents are ready for UAE submission.
Which PRO services do Indian nationals usually need in Dubai?
The same as any nationality: residence visas, Emirates ID, work permits, licence renewals and tax registration. On top of that, Indian-issued certificates such as degrees and marriage or birth certificates usually need attestation and, where required, legal translation. THAJ coordinates both and quotes after reviewing the documents.
Do you guarantee bank account approval?
No. We prepare the documentation and respond to bank requests, but each bank makes its own decision.
