Expand Beyond the UAE

Once your UAE company is up and running, the natural next step for many of our clients is regional and cross-border expansion. Ampsy Consultancy supports company formation not only in the UAE but also across Saudi Arabia, Oman, and India — three markets with very different rules, timelines, and ownership structures. Whether you're chasing Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 spending, Oman's low-cost free zones, or India's vast domestic market, we handle the licensing, documentation, and compliance so you can focus on launching.

Saudi Arabia (KSA)

Foreign companies enter the Saudi market through a MISA licence (formerly SAGIA), issued by the Ministry of Investment. Most sectors — including consulting, technology, manufacturing, and retail — now allow full foreign ownership with no local partner required, and the licence is a prerequisite for your Commercial Registration, corporate bank account, and staff visas.

Why Choose Saudi Arabia?

100% Foreign Ownership: Most commercial and service activities no longer require a Saudi sponsor or shareholder.

Fast-Growing Market: The Kingdom's Vision 2030 diversification drive is pushing major investment into technology, logistics, healthcare, and tourism.

Access to Government Tenders: A licensed local entity can bid on public sector contracts through the Etimad portal.

Open Capital Account: Profits and capital can be freely repatriated abroad.

Streamlined Registration: A unified national Commercial Registration and digital MISA application have shortened setup timelines considerably.

Oman

Oman is one of the more overlooked GCC markets, offering lower setup costs and less competition than its neighbours. Foreign investors can register a mainland LLC through the Invest Easy portal or set up in a free zone such as Sohar, Salalah, or Duqm — most of which allow 100% foreign ownership, long tax holidays, and duty-free import of equipment and raw materials.

Why Choose Oman?

100% Foreign Ownership: Available for most mainland LLC activities and in every major free zone, with no Omani partner required.

Strategic Ports: Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah give direct shipping access to India, East Africa, and Southeast Asia, outside the Strait of Hormuz.

Free Zone Tax Holidays: Corporate tax exemptions of up to several years, plus 0% import and export duty within the zone.

Lower Cost of Entry: Share capital requirements for free zone companies are considerably lower than a mainland LLC.

Remote Incorporation: Companies can be registered through power of attorney, with no requirement for shareholders to hold Omani residency.

India

India remains one of the largest consumer and services markets in the world, and most sectors — including IT, manufacturing, and consulting — permit up to 100% Foreign Direct Investment under the automatic route, meaning no prior government approval is required before investing. The most common entry point for our clients is a wholly-owned private limited subsidiary, registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

Why Choose India?

100% FDI Under the Automatic Route: No government approval needed for most sectors, including IT, consulting, and manufacturing.

Large Domestic Market: Direct access to one of the world's fastest-growing consumer and digital economies.

No Minimum Capital: There is generally no statutory minimum capital requirement to incorporate a private limited company.

Fast Incorporation: Companies can typically be registered within 7–15 working days with complete documentation.

Profit Repatriation: Profits can be repatriated abroad subject to FEMA regulations and applicable tax rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not in most sectors. Under the current MISA framework, activities such as consulting, technology, manufacturing, and retail can be 100% foreign-owned. A small number of restricted activities on the negative list still require local participation, which Ampsy Consultancy will confirm before you apply.

It depends on your business. A mainland LLC lets you trade anywhere in Oman, while a free zone company (Sohar, Salalah, or Duqm) suits manufacturing, logistics, and export-oriented businesses, with lower capital requirements and long tax holidays. We'll help you weigh both against your activity and target customers.

In most sectors, yes — up to 100% FDI is allowed under the automatic route, without needing prior government approval. A private limited company still needs a minimum of two shareholders and two directors, with at least one director resident in India, which Ampsy Consultancy can help arrange.

Timelines vary: Saudi MISA licensing typically runs a few days to a few weeks depending on activity and documentation; Oman free zone and mainland registration is generally a few weeks; and India incorporation can often be completed in 7–15 working days once paperwork is in order. Ampsy Consultancy will give you a realistic timeline once we know your activity and structure.
