DMCC Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. If you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, DMCC Free Zone deserves a close look for its world's #1 free zone (Fitch) and straightforward renewal process. In our experience, slovaks are a small community in automotive, IT and hospitality, so the DMCC Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Slovak applications every day and process them without hesitation. Slovak automotive and engineering suppliers serve the UAE through Dubai distributors, which gives Slovak entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their DMCC Free Zone licence is released.
