About Ajman Media City
Why Ajman Media City
If you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, Ajman Media City deserves a close look for its specialised media licences and simple renewal process. 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 granted. GoldenKey has Norwegian clients from Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger, and our consultants understand the supporting documents issued in Norway and how to attest them for the UAE. Norwegian maritime and energy suppliers have long served the UAE's offshore and shipping sectors, which gives Norwegian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Media City licence is issued.
As a rule, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE) and Free Zone Company (FZCO), which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. Ajman Media City is located in Ajman emirate — media & creative industry cluster, and the registrar's processing time for a standard file is around 3 working days (Monday to Friday). Norwegian applicants benefit from the fact that Ajman Media City already has many Norwegian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Norway documents and name formats instantly.
