How many visas can I get with a Ajman Free Zone licence?
As a rule, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. Ajman Free Zone packages as a rule 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.
Can I open a UAE bank account with a Ajman Free Zone company?
Yes, Ajman Free Zone companies open accounts with UAE banks every day. Approval depends on the bank's compliance review of your profile, business plan and supporting documents, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
