Anyone have experience with Dubai (UAE) Free Zone and Play Store, Apple, Admob?

[Deniz Dirhem]

Does anyone have ever opened a company in a United Arab Emirates Free Zone to get payments from Play Store, App Store, Admob, Facebook etc.? Does their trade restriction cause trouble to get payment from Google or Apple?

Trade Restrictions within UAE: Companies within freezones under the UAE law are not allowed to legally engage in business with companies and individual onshore, each freezone has different legislation with regards to the allowances or legality of operating the freezone.

Why would you get trouble?

I mean trouble about getting payments, if you read the quote, their laws won't let free zone companies to make trade with onshore companies. If Google, Apple Facebook etc. is onshore company, then they can't make payment. As you see I am really confused and expecting someone to enlighten me about details.

On-Shore means the UAE, not the rest of the world.

1) Trade Restrictions within UAE: Companies within freezones under the UAE law are not allowed to legally engage in business with companies and individual onshore, each freezone has different legislation with regards to the allowances or legality of operating the freezone.

2) Restrictions on expansion Onshore: Freezone companies looking to establish presence onshore are not allowed to do so as a branch office and would need to establish a new entity which can be owned by the FZE company under the laws of the Emirate they open in.

@Milky Moon Sure I know On-Shore means the UAE. My confusion is, Google Play makes payment from their branch in the country of your business. So, Google will make payments from their UAE branch, would that mean it is a trade with a UAE on-Shore company?
