View all FAQsHow many visas can I get with a Ajman Media City licence?
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.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in Ajman Media City?
Most Ajman Media City licences can be released 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 completed.
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 customers 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.
How long does the Ajman Media City licence take?
Once your paperwork are complete, the authority usually issues the licence within 3 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Is an audit required for a Ajman Media City company?
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.

Format and attestation
Ajman Media City accepts clear colour scans for most supporting documents, but educational certificates for professional activities and any corporate shareholder documents must be attested in the home country and by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. GoldenKey tells you which of your documents need attestation before you send anything.

Banking, logistics, telecoms and digital government services in the UAE are among the most advanced in the region, which keeps the running costs of preparing documents for Ajman Media City predictable. On the ground, residence visas for owners and families come with the company, which makes preparing documents for Ajman Media City a route to relocation as well as a business decision.
