View all FAQsIs an audit required for a Ajman Free Zone company?
In our experience, 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 for a small authority fee.
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 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 clients 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.

Good to know
More about Ajman Free Zone
Which banks accept Ajman Free Zone companies
In our experience, most UAE banks open accounts for Ajman Free Zone companies, but each has its own appetite for activities, nationalities and expected turnover. GoldenKey shortlists two or three banks that fit your profile rather than applying everywhere at once.
If the first bank declines
A decline from one bank does not affect another. We ask for the reason, adjust the profile if needed and apply to a better-matched bank; Ajman Free Zone companies are routinely approved on the second attempt when the first choice was simply the wrong fit.
Why the UAE
On the ground, the UAE's network of comprehensive economic partnership agreements with India, Indonesia, Türkiye, Israel, Cambodia and others keeps expanding the markets a UAE company can reach duty-free. English is the working language of business, contracts are routinely drafted in English, and government portals are bilingual, which simplifies opening a bank account for a company in Ajman Free Zone for international founders.
Why GoldenKey
GoldenKey builds its own CRM and client portal, so you can see the status of your Ajman Free Zone application, download your paperwork and pay invoices from your phone. Every Ajman Free Zone package we quote already includes the licence, registration, the establishment card where applicable and our full assistance, with no hidden add-ons at the end. We speak the languages our clients speak, including English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and Malayalam, and we can arrange Russian, French and Mandarin support for opening a bank account for a company in Ajman Free Zone.
