Side by side

Know before you choose

IFZA publishes no prices on ifza.com. All figures here are agency quotes.
The package prices come from an IFZA-branded price list dated September 2024, hosted by an agency (Arnifi). An agency page (makca.co, 1 Aug 2026) shows identical figures and calls them IFZA's July 2026 list; that was not verified.
Agency all-in totals such as 20,650 for 1 visa are sums of licence, card and visa. We do not use them.
The 'visa free for life' offer is a promotion with conditions. It excludes the establishment card, medical, Emirates ID and status change.
Agencies disagree on how many visas fit on a flexi desk (3 or 6).
IFZA sells through professional partners, so quotes vary by agent.

Not published

We could not find these on the sources we read: the number of visas without an office, the renewal price, the rules for trading on the mainland.
