Dubai Eye, 13 February 2025: Abu Dhabi’s Department of Economic Development has introduced new measures to facilitate business growth and expansion within the emirate.

The updated regulations allow companies registered in other emirates and their free zones to establish branches in Abu Dhabi without the requirement of a physical office for the first year.

A total of 1,200 economic activities across various sectors are exempt from the need for physical premises for one year from the date of their licence issuance.

Business owners from other emirates can apply for a new branch licence through the TAMM digital platform, which simplifies the process with online document submissions, approvals, and payments.
