Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about Ajman Free Zone. Anything else — ask GK AI or message us.
View all FAQsWhat is the difference between an FZE and an FZCO in Ajman Free Zone?
An FZE has one shareholder and an FZCO has two or more. Both offer limited liability and 100% foreign ownership, and the fees in Ajman Free Zone are usually the same.
How long does the Ajman Free Zone licence take?
Once your documents are complete, the authority typically issues the licence within 3 business days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
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.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in Ajman Free Zone?
Most Ajman Free Zone licences can be issued remotely with scanned papers and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residence visa is processed.
Can I add more activities to my Ajman Free Zone licence later?
Yes. Ajman Free Zone allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few working days for a small authority fee.
