Shams company setup in Sharjah Media City

Shams, Sharjah Media City, opened in 2017 as a free zone for media and creative businesses, and it now licenses consulting, e-commerce and technology companies too. We set it up end to end, from the package to the visas and your bank account application.

Two Shams packages

The Media package covers up to five media activities. The Standard package takes any five business activities, which is where consulting, e-commerce and technology companies usually land. Both are issued as an LLC with 100% foreign ownership, need no NOC, and come with a flexi desk and a lease agreement.

What moves your Shams price

Four things: the package, the number of visas (Shams allocates them by business and structure, up to 50 on a licence), how many years you license for (longer licences are discounted), and any approval your activity needs from another authority. E-channel registration is charged separately where it applies.

After the licence

With the licence issued we move to the visas (the entry permit or a change of status, the medical test and the Emirates ID) and to your bank account application. If your clients expect a Dubai address, IFZA and Meydan are priced online, and we can set them beside Shams on a call.

How much does a Shams licence cost?

Can I get a residence visa with a Shams licence?

Yes. Shams allocates visas by business and structure, up to 50 on a licence. Each visa is priced on top of the licence, with the medical test and Emirates ID.

Is Shams only for media companies?

No. The Media package covers media activities, and the Standard package takes any five business activities, including consulting, e-commerce and technology.

OMC is a reliable and professional company in the UAE. Their team is knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to help. The quality of their service exceeded my expectations, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended.
