About Ajman Free Zone
Why Ajman Free Zone
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 founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through Ajman Free Zone company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. Payments between Qatar and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Qatari riyal (QAR) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Qatari business profiles. GoldenKey has Qatari clients from Doha, Al Wakrah and Al Rayyan, and our consultants understand the documents released in Qatar and how to attest them for the UAE.
One of the reasons we recommend Ajman Free Zone is its among the most affordable in the UAE, which matters more than most entrepreneurs realise once the business is running. As we tell every client, 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 issued. GoldenKey has prepared Ajman Free Zone files for Qatari clients in investment holding, real estate, trading and hospitality, which means we know which Qatar paperwork need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

View all FAQsDo I need to visit the UAE to set up in Ajman Free Zone?
As we tell every client, most Ajman Free Zone licences can be issued remotely with scanned papers and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residency visa is processed.
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.

Yes — Qataris can own the full share capital of a Ajman Free Zone company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
