Dubai Silicon Oasis is an integrated technology park under DIEZ, built for product companies — hardware, semiconductors, IT services and software — with living, working and campus space in one district. We file the licence, run KYC and handle the visa.
Dubai Silicon Oasis is a technology park rather than a tower: workspace, campus facilities and residential all sit in the same district under one authority.
Offices, campus facilities and housing sit together, which makes the district practical for teams rather than for addresses.
Space in an outer technology park generally prices differently from the central clusters, which matters when a team is growing.
Hardware, engineering and R&D activities are ordinary here rather than exceptions to a service-led list.
DIEZ administers the park alongside its other districts, so an expansion does not necessarily mean a new jurisdiction.
Full foreign ownership with no local partner requirement, as across the UAE free zones.
Qualifying Free Zone Person status keeps corporate tax at 0% on qualifying income when the structure and activity support it.
Dubai Silicon Oasis licenses technology, trading and service activities from premises inside the DIEZ park. The office you take sets the visa allocation, and the campus infrastructure is part of what the address buys.
Dubai Silicon Oasis suits technology businesses that need workspace and campus infrastructure at a cost the central clusters do not usually match.
Electronics, devices and hardware product businesses, including design and assembly.
Software development, managed services and technical consulting.
Engineering, research and development functions attached to a product business.
Distribution and resale of technology products and components.

Sonsoto quoted us a line-item budget for the licence, visas and the bank pack up front. Nothing crept in later. That alone was worth the fee.
I’d already been rejected by two banks. Sonsoto told me why, changed the pack, and we opened with WIO in three weeks. Straight answers, no theatre.
They caught a corporate-tax filing we were about to miss and re-scoped the renewals so we stopped paying twice for the same work. Now they run everything.
We’d spoken to four firms and got four different price sheets. Sonsoto was the only one that showed us where the extras came from — and we didn’t need them.
Golden Visa done, family visas done, licence renewed. Same team, same WhatsApp thread. I don’t chase PRO agents anymore.
They told me RAK was a better fit than Dubai for our margin. I’d already paid a deposit somewhere else. They still refunded my Sonsoto retainer and helped me exit.
