All such persons, as well as everyone who will be granted account signatory rights, will have to provide a number of documents - such as passport copy, proof of address (utility bill or bank account statement), bankers and/or professional reference and detailed business description/plan. These documentary requirements vary, depending on the chosen bank. This is required by the UAE Central Bank laws that regulate the UAE banking industry.
