About Ajman Media City
Why Ajman Media City
As a rule, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, Ajman Media City deserves a close look for its specialised media licences and routine renewal process. Ajman Media City combines specialised media licences with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, and that is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. 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 business owners who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget.
Crucially, 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. Day to day, permitted activities include social media management and influencer marketing. Ajman Media City is located in Ajman emirate — media & creative industry cluster, and the authority's processing time for a standard file is around 3 business days.
