Opening an offshore bank account in the UAE
An offshore account can be opened by a company that is registered in the offshore zone of the UAE. Such an account cannot be registered for personal purposes. The holder of an offshore account can only be a legal entity with the appropriate status in the UAE. You can open this type of account at some local banks. As a rule, those companies whose founders already have operating companies in their country receive high priority in opening an offshore account.
