Ajman Media City Company Formation

UAE's media and content-creator hub — licences from AED 5,000

Ajman Media City is UAE's media and content-creator hub — licences from AED 5,000, and it has become one of the most practical choices for founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. Ajman Media City issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. If you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, Ajman Media City deserves a close look for its specialised media licences and straightforward renewal process.

Key points

In practice, unlike some zones, Ajman Media City does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. Office options in Ajman Media City range from virtual office, flexi-desk or studio space, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. Popular activities in Ajman Media City include media production, digital marketing, broadcasting, publishing and advertising, and most of them can be combined on a single licence. One of the reasons we recommend Ajman Media City is its specialised media licences, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running.

Frequently asked questions

Can I open a UAE bank account with a Ajman Media City company?

Yes, Ajman Media City companies open accounts with UAE banks every day. Approval depends on the bank's compliance review of your profile, business plan and documents, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.

Can a Ajman Media City company do business on the UAE mainland?

A Ajman Media City company can sell to mainland customers through a mainland distributor, invoice services to mainland clients in most cases, and apply for a dual-licence arrangement where the emirate offers one. Direct retail or on-site contracting on the mainland needs a mainland licence.

What is the difference between an FZE and an FZCO in Ajman Media City?

An FZE has one shareholder and an FZCO has two or more. Both offer limited liability and 100% foreign ownership, and the fees in Ajman Media City are usually the same.

How many visas can I get with a Ajman Media City licence?

To be clear, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. Ajman Media City packages typically 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 add more activities to my Ajman Media City licence later?

Yes. Ajman Media City allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few working days (Monday to Friday) for a small authority fee.
