WhatsApp quoteAjman Free Zone combines among the most affordable in the UAE with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. Setting up a company in Ajman Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Crucially, e-commerce in Ajman Free Zone means selling physical or digital products online through your own store or marketplaces such as Amazon.ae and Noon, and it is licensed as a commercial activity. An e-commerce licence lets you sell online, hold stock in UAE fulfilment centres and accept card payments through a UAE payment gateway. Most free zones bundle a flexi-desk, which is enough for an online-only operation.

Frequently asked questions
How many visas can I get with a Ajman Free Zone licence?
To be clear, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. Ajman Free Zone packages as a rule 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.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in Ajman Free Zone?
In our experience, 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 residency visa is completed.
Is an audit required for a Ajman Free Zone company?
On the ground, 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.
What approvals does e-commerce need?
Put simply, payment gateway onboarding needs a UAE bank account and the trade licence. GoldenKey obtains these as part of the setup.
Which licence type covers e-commerce?
For most clients, e-commerce is classified as a commercial activity, and GoldenKey selects the exact activity code so your licence matches what you actually do.
