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.

Over 20,000 member companies work across 87 towers in a freehold community where offices can be rented or bought from private landlords. Company setup is 100% digital — pre-approval, registration and licensing are completed online in around 2–3 weeks without visiting Dubai.

GoldenKey manages the whole DMCC process for you: application, name reservation, activities, e-signing, office selection and visas.
