About Ajman Free Zone
Why Ajman Free Zone
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. As we tell every client, 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. the Netherlands is a major European gateway for UAE re-exports, and Dutch logistics expertise is in demand across Jebel Ali and Khalifa Port, which gives Dutch entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Free Zone licence is issued. In practice, dutch nationals are an active community in logistics, water, agriculture technology and trading, so the Ajman Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Dutch applications every day and process them without hesitation.
For most clients, 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. Put simply, 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. In our experience, many Dutch founders run Ajman Free Zone companies alongside an existing business in Netherlands, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about Ajman Free Zone. Anything else — ask GK AI or message us.
View all FAQsIs an audit required for a Ajman Free Zone company?
As a rule, 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 many visas can I get with a Ajman Free Zone licence?
Just as important, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. Ajman Free Zone packages generally 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?
For most clients, once your documents are complete, the licensing authority typically issues the licence within 3 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Netherlands and the UAE?
Yes. The UAE and Netherlands 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.
Can a Dutch citizen own 100% of a company in Ajman Free Zone?
Absolutely. Dutch nationals can own the full share capital of a Ajman Free Zone company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
