Residency needs evidence.
The purpose sets the question.
A certificate application may relate to a double-taxation agreement or a purpose outside a treaty. The relevant eligibility and evidence must be assessed for the applicant and period; a residence visa or company licence alone does not settle every tax-residency question.
We discuss the intended use and help organise the agreed application information. The FTA assesses the application and decides whether to issue the certificate. View the FTA Tax Residency Certificate service.

A purpose-specific assessment
The applicant, period and intended certificate use considered together.

Issuance is decided by the FTA. A UAE certificate does not automatically establish an exemption in another country or remove foreign filing obligations. Treaty interpretation and foreign tax consequences may require qualified advice in the other jurisdiction.

03 / A purpose-defined engagement

Specific questions.
Straightforward answers.
Is a UAE residence visa enough to qualify?
Do not assume that it is. Tax residence and the evidence required depend on the applicable conditions and certificate purpose.
Can a company apply as well as an individual?
Yes, the FTA service covers eligible applicants, but company and individual facts and evidence differ. Eligibility is assessed before confirming the application work.
Does the certificate guarantee treaty relief abroad?
No. The applicable treaty, foreign law, recipient requirements and facts also matter. A certificate does not by itself decide every foreign tax outcome.
