View all FAQsDo 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 residency 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 for most applicants, 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.
Is an audit required for a Ajman Free Zone company?
Day to day, 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.
How long does the process take for French applicants?
Processing for French nationals follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from France that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
Is there a double taxation agreement between France and the UAE?
Yes. The UAE and France have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
