Frequently asked questions
How long does the Ajman Free Zone licence take?
Once your documents are complete, the licensing 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?
Most Ajman Free Zone licences can be granted 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 completed.
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.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Greece and the UAE?
Yes. The UAE and Greece 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.
Do Greeks need a UAE visa before applying for Ajman Free Zone?
No. You can apply for the licence from Greece with scanned documents, and the investor residence visa is handled afterwards.
