About Ajman Free Zone
Why Ajman Free Zone
On the ground, 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. 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. GoldenKey has Irish clients from Dublin, Cork and Galway, and our consultants understand the documents issued in Ireland and how to attest them for the UAE. To be clear, payments between Ireland and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Irish business profiles.
In our experience, 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 granted. For most clients, 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. GoldenKey has prepared Ajman Free Zone files for Irish clients in aviation leasing, construction, education and hospitality, which means we know which Ireland paperwork need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
