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. 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. GoldenKey has Nigerian clients from Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, and our consultants understand the documents issued in Nigeria and how to attest them for the UAE. Put simply, payments between Nigeria and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Nigerian naira (NGN) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Nigerian business profiles.
Why Ajman Media City
Importantly, office options in Ajman Media City range from virtual office, flexi-desk or studio space, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. 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. Nigerian applicants benefit from the fact that Ajman Media City already has many Nigerian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Nigeria documents and name formats instantly.

Frequently asked questions
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 nine times out of ten, 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 many visas can I get with a Ajman Media City licence?

It can. 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.

Yes. Nigerians can own the full share capital of a Ajman Media City company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
