In practice, the following example is a composite of real Ajman Free Zone files handled by GoldenKey for Belgian clients in tourism & hospitality; details have been generalised.
The starting point
A Belgian entrepreneur from Brussels wanted to launch a hospitality business serving customers in the UAE and Belgium. The priorities were a credible licence, a UAE residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Ajman Free Zone
After comparing options, Ajman Free Zone was chosen for its among the most affordable in the UAE and because tourism & hospitality is a well-established activity there. GoldenKey confirmed the activity code and the visa package in the first consultation.
The process
GoldenKey reserved the trade name, obtained initial approval and submitted attested documents from Belgium. The licence was issued in line with the usual Ajman Free Zone timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
With the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to tourism & hospitality. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
The business was invoicing clients within weeks of the first call, with a UAE address, a resident founder and a compliance calendar managed by GoldenKey. The same path is available to any Belgian founder considering tourism & hospitality in Ajman Free Zone.
