Frequently asked questions
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in Ajman Free Zone?
Most Ajman Free Zone licences can be granted remotely with scanned documents and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your UAE residence visa is processed.
Can a Ajman Free Zone company do business on the UAE mainland?
A Ajman Free Zone company can sell to mainland customers through a mainland distributor, invoice services to mainland customers in most cases, and apply for a dual-licence arrangement where the emirate offers one. Direct retail or on-site contracting on the mainland needs a mainland licence.
How long does the Ajman Free Zone licence take?
Once your documents are complete, the authority typically issues the licence within 3 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Is an audit required for a Ajman Free Zone company?
Requirements vary by zone and by company size. GoldenKey will confirm the current Ajman Free Zone rule when we prepare your quotation, and we provide bookkeeping if you need accounts in any case for corporate tax.
Can I add more activities to my Ajman Free Zone licence later?
It can. Ajman Free Zone allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few working days (Monday to Friday) for a small authority fee.
