WhatsApp quoteImportantly, this illustrative scenario shows how a French founder set up a travel agency in Fujairah with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A French entrepreneur from Paris wanted to launch a travel agency serving customers in the UAE and France. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Fujairah
For most clients, after comparing options, Fujairah was chosen for its direct Indian Ocean port access and because travel & tourism agency 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 France. The licence was granted in line with the usual Fujairah 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 travel & tourism agency. 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 French founder considering travel & tourism agency in Fujairah.
