Just as important, payments between Philippines and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Philippine peso (PHP) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Filipino business profiles. Day to day, filipinos are one of the largest communities in the UAE, estimated at around 700,000 to 1,000,000 people, so the Ajman Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Filipino applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Ajman Free Zone
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. One of the reasons we recommend Ajman Free Zone is its among the most affordable in the UAE, which matters more than most business owners realise once the business is running. In short, many Filipino founders run Ajman Free Zone companies alongside an existing business in Philippines, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
