About Ajman Free Zone
Why Ajman Free Zone
An Ajman Free Zone company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. Ajman Free Zone is one of the UAE's most affordable free zones — 0-visa packages from AED 5,500, and it has become one of the most practical choices for entrepreneurs who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. In practice, founders choose Ajman Free Zone when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office.
Just as important, one of the reasons we recommend Ajman Free Zone is its among the most affordable in the UAE, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. On the ground, unlike some zones, Ajman Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. Importantly, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch of Foreign Company, which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch.

View all FAQsHow many visas can I get with a Ajman Free Zone licence?
Visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. Ajman Free Zone packages typically start from a zero-visa option and scale to five or more visas with a physical office, and additional visas can be added later for the per-visa fee shown in our pricing.
How long does the Ajman Free Zone licence take?
Importantly, once your documents are complete, the authority typically issues the licence within 3 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in Ajman Free Zone?
Crucially, most Ajman Free Zone licences can be released 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 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.
What 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.

More about Ajman Free Zone
Format and attestation

GoldenKey tells you which of your documents need attestation before you send anything.
Why the UAE
The UAE charges no personal income tax, and corporate tax applies at 9% only on profits above AED 375,000, with a 0% rate available for qualifying free zone income. Residence visas for owners and families come with the company, which makes preparing documents for Ajman Free Zone a route to relocation as well as a business decision.
