A Ministry of Labour and General Directorate of Residence and Foreigners Affairs states, person cannot not obtain UAE residence permit as a freelancer. A person must be officially employed and sponsored by a company fully registered and established in the UAE.

It is totally possible to get a freelance visa/license in any freezone in UAE. It just might cost you a bit! If you Google Freelance Visa UAE you will get loads of results and info. Twofour54 in Abu Dhabi is a good option, as is RAK Free Zone. It all depends how much you want to spend, and what industry you want to freelance in.
