About IFZA
Why IFZA Free Zone
As a rule, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, IFZA Free Zone deserves a close look for its Dubai address and straightforward renewal process. IFZA Free Zone combines Dubai address with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. In our experience, the most common businesses Estonians open through GoldenKey are in technology, fintech, e-residency services and cybersecurity, although IFZA Free Zone supports almost any activity. For Estonian founders, the UAE is around 6.5 hours from Tallinn, the UAE is 1 to 2 hours ahead of Estonia, and English is the business language.
Office options in IFZA Free Zone range from virtual office, flexi-desk, office suite or warehouse, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. IFZA Free Zone is located in Dubai Silicon Oasis district, Dubai — adjacent to Meydan and Academic City, and the registrar's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days. GoldenKey has prepared IFZA Free Zone files for Estonian customers in technology, fintech, e-residency services and cybersecurity, which means we know which Estonia documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
