WhatsApp quoteDay to day, the following example is a composite of real IFZA Free Zone files handled by GoldenKey for Norwegian clients in manufacturing & industrial; details have been generalised.
The starting point
A Norwegian entrepreneur from Oslo wanted to launch a manufacturing company serving customers in the UAE and Norway. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why IFZA Free Zone
After comparing options, IFZA Free Zone was chosen for its Dubai address and because manufacturing & industrial 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 Norway. The licence was issued in line with the usual IFZA 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 manufacturing & industrial. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
From day one, 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 Norwegian founder considering manufacturing & industrial in IFZA Free Zone.

Frequently asked questions
Can my family from Norway join me?
Once your investor visa is issued you can sponsor your spouse and children, and GoldenKey processes their visas alongside yours.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Norway and the UAE?
The UAE has double taxation agreements with more than 130 countries. Whether Norway is covered and how it applies to you depends on the current treaty position, which GoldenKey checks with a tax adviser before you rely on it.
Do Norwegians need a UAE visa before applying for IFZA Free Zone?
No. You can apply for the licence from Norway with scanned documents, and the investor UAE residence visa is processed afterwards.
