WhatsApp quoteAs we tell every client, this illustrative scenario shows how a Slovak founder set up a media production company in Sharjah with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A Slovak entrepreneur from Bratislava wanted to launch a media production company serving customers in the UAE and Slovakia. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Sharjah
After comparing options, Sharjah was chosen for its Lowest-cost mainland licence among the big three emirates and because media & content production 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 Slovakia. The licence was issued in line with the usual Sharjah timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
As a rule, with the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to media & content production. 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 Slovak founder considering media & content production in Sharjah.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Slovak citizen own 100% of a company in Sharjah?
Yes. Slovaks can own the full share capital of a Sharjah company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Slovaks need a UAE visa before applying for Sharjah?
No. You can apply for the licence from Slovakia with scanned documents, and the investor residence visa is completed afterwards.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Slovakia and the UAE?
Yes. The UAE and Slovakia have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
