Authorities & regulatory considerations
Offshore entities are registered with registries such as RAK ICC or JAFZA Offshore; foundations with DIFC or ADGM. Property holding by offshore companies is permitted only in certain areas and under land-department rules. Tax and legal advice — including home-country implications — must come from appropriately qualified professionals.
