About Ajman Media City
Why Ajman Media City
In our experience, 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. As we tell every client, founders choose Ajman Media City when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. Put simply, payments between Spain and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Spanish business profiles. GoldenKey has Spanish customers from Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, and our consultants understand the documents issued in Spain and how to attest them for the UAE.
Ajman Media City is located in Ajman emirate — media & creative industry cluster, and the issuing authority's processing time for a standard file is around 3 working days (Monday to Friday). 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 issued. Spanish applicants benefit from the fact that Ajman Media City already has many Spanish shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Spain documents and name formats instantly.
