Our verdict
On our criteria, RAK ICC wins for the most common profile. The UAE's most-used offshore registry — holding only, no visas.
That said, JAFZA Offshore remains the right call if: holding dubai freehold property, succession and estate planning. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
