Frequently asked questions
How many visas can I get with a Ajman Media City licence?
In practice, 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 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.
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.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Australia and the UAE?

Day to day, processing for Australians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Australia that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
