About Ajman Media City
Why Ajman Media City
Ajman Media City combines specialised media licences with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, and for that reason it suits both first-time founders and established groups. An Ajman Media City company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. 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.
For most clients, 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. As we tell every client, 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 released. Put simply, 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
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about Ajman Media City. Anything else — ask GK AI or message us.
View all FAQsWhat 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 generally the same.
How many visas can I get with a Ajman Media City licence?
Crucially, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. Ajman Media City packages normally 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.
Is an audit required for a Ajman Media City company?
As a rule, requirements vary by zone and by company size. GoldenKey will confirm the current Ajman Media City rule when we prepare your quotation, and we provide bookkeeping if you need accounts in any case for corporate tax.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in Ajman Media City?
On the ground, most Ajman Media City licences can be issued remotely with scanned documents and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residence visa is processed.
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 for a small authority fee.

Good to know
More about Ajman Media City
If the first bank declines
A decline from one bank does not affect another. We ask for the reason, adjust the profile if needed and apply to a better-matched bank; Ajman Media City companies are routinely approved on the second attempt when the first choice was simply the wrong fit.
Which banks accept Ajman Media City companies
Most UAE banks open accounts for Ajman Media City companies, but each has its own appetite for activities, nationalities and expected turnover. GoldenKey shortlists two or three banks that fit your profile rather than applying everywhere at once.
Why the UAE
Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so opening a bank account for a company in Ajman Media City no longer requires a local partner. The UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, which is why so many founders choose it as a base for opening a bank account for a company in Ajman Media City.
Why GoldenKey
GoldenKey is a licensed business setup consultancy, not a reseller, which means your Ajman Media City application is prepared, checked and submitted by our own team. We speak the languages our clients speak, including English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and Malayalam, and we can arrange Russian, French and Mandarin support for opening a bank account for a company in Ajman Media City. GoldenKey's consultants have handled opening a bank account for a company in Ajman Media City for traders, consultants, tech business owners and family offices, which gives us a realistic view of what each authority approves quickly.
