About Ajman Media City
Why Ajman Media City

Setting up a company in Ajman Media City gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. the Netherlands is a major European gateway for UAE re-exports, and Dutch logistics expertise is in demand across Jebel Ali and Khalifa Port, which gives Dutch entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Media City licence is issued. In our experience, payments between Netherlands and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle promptly and UAE banks are familiar with Dutch business profiles.
From day one, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE) and Free Zone Company (FZCO), which covers solo company owners, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. One of the reasons we recommend Ajman Media City is its specialised media licences, which matters more than most business owners realise once the business is running.
