Deuxieme annee, et la fermeture

Les deux chiffres que personne n'affiche. Une premiere annee bon marche ne vaut rien si la deuxieme double, et rien du tout si partir coute une fortune.

Renouvellement, par an

non publie par la zone

Not published on any product page. The terms do publish a multi-year discount of 2 percent for a two year licence, plus 1 percent per further year, capped at 10 percent, which contradicts the 15 to 50 percent advertised on the packages page.

Fermer la societe

non publie par la zone

Not published. What is published is stricter than a price: cancellation requests after payment are not accepted, except where the immigration card is rejected. The AED 2,100 deposit on the last visa holder is settled at cancellation. And reopening after a cancellation means waiting one year if immigration visas were issued, six months for a zero visa company.

Autres frais et penalites

Rejected visa administrative feeAED 1,050
