Plug2UAEAFZ vs SHAMS: which should you choose?
Long-established, low-cost, with a strong partner programme. A low-cost, credible route to a UAE licence, and a natural fit for freelancers.
Our verdict
On our criteria, SHAMS wins for the most common profile. A low-cost, credible route to a UAE licence, and a natural fit for freelancers.
That said, AFZ remains the right call if: budget trading companies, light industrial with warehousing. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
