About Ajman Media City
Why Ajman Media City
GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through Ajman Media City company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. Ajman Media City combines specialised media licences with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. For Qatari business owners, the UAE is around 1 hour from Doha, same time zone as the UAE, and Arabic and English are both used daily. GoldenKey has Qatari clients from Doha, Al Wakrah and Al Rayyan, and our consultants understand the supporting documents issued in Qatar and how to attest them for the UAE.
As we tell every client, 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 issued. Ajman Media City licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date. In our experience, many Qatari entrepreneurs run Ajman Media City companies alongside an existing business in Qatar, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
