As a rule, this illustrative scenario shows how a Lithuanian founder set up an import-export business in Ajman with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A Lithuanian entrepreneur from Vilnius wanted to launch an import-export business serving customers in the UAE and Lithuania. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Ajman
Crucially, after comparing options, Ajman was chosen for its among the most affordable mainland licences in the UAE and because import & export 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 papers from Lithuania. The licence was issued in line with the usual Ajman 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 import & export. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
For most clients, the business was invoicing customers 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 Lithuanian founder considering import & export in Ajman.
