About IFZA
Why IFZA Free Zone
IFZA Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through IFZA Free Zone company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. IFZA Free Zone is Dubai's fastest-growing free zone — multi-activity licence, top bank access, and it has become one of the most practical choices for founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget.
Importantly, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch, which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. One of the reasons we recommend IFZA Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most company owners realise once the business is running. Popular activities in IFZA Free Zone include trading, services, technology, consultancy and manufacturing, and most of them can be combined on a single licence.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about IFZA. Anything else — ask GK AI or message us.
View all FAQsDo I need to visit the UAE to set up in IFZA Free Zone?
In practice, most IFZA Free Zone licences can be granted remotely with scanned supporting documents and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residence visa is processed.
Is an audit required for a IFZA Free Zone company?
Importantly, requirements vary by zone and by company size. GoldenKey will confirm the current IFZA Free Zone rule when we prepare your quotation, and we provide bookkeeping if you need accounts in any case for corporate tax.
How long does the IFZA Free Zone licence take?
Once your documents are complete, the authority as a rule issues the licence within 5 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Can I open a UAE bank account with a IFZA Free Zone company?
Yes, IFZA Free Zone companies open accounts with UAE banks every day. Approval depends on the bank's compliance review of your profile, business plan and paperwork, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
How many visas can I get with a IFZA Free Zone licence?
Importantly, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. IFZA Free Zone packages normally start from a zero-visa option and scale to five or more visas with a physical office, and additional visas can be added later for the per-visa fee shown in our pricing.

Good to know
More about IFZA
Why the UAE
Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so a 0-visa licence in IFZA Free Zone no longer requires a local partner. The UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international customers and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for a 0-visa licence in IFZA Free Zone.
Why GoldenKey
Most of our IFZA Free Zone customers come to us through referrals from other business owners, which is why we take pride in keeping every promise we put in writing. We speak the languages our clients speak, including English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and Malayalam, and we can arrange Russian, French and Mandarin support for a 0-visa licence in IFZA Free Zone. As we tell every client, our office is a short drive from the Ajman Free Zone, Ajman DED and the immigration centre, so physical submissions for a 0-visa licence in IFZA Free Zone happen the same day they are ready.

Who the Starter – 0 Visa package suits
The zero-visa package is for founders who do not need UAE residency yet: existing residents on another visa, overseas owners who run the company remotely, and holding or e-commerce businesses with no staff. You can upgrade to a visa package at renewal or earlier by paying the difference, and the licence itself carries the same rights as a visa package.
