What We Handle

Residency Visas
Investor and partner visas for you, your family and any staff you relocate from Europe.
Corporate Banking

Why Tafeel
European clients tend to arrive with the same three worries: which structure is right, whether a bank will actually open the account, and who deals with the paperwork while they are 5,000 kilometres away. We are set up to answer all three.
Built for remote setup
Most of the process runs on documents and video calls. We tell you upfront the few moments you genuinely need to be in the UAE.
Straight answers on cost
Government fees and our fees are quoted separately and in writing, so you can compare properly.
Banking prepared properly
We build the compliance file before submitting, which is where most European applications stall.
One team, start to finish
