About IFZA
Why IFZA Free Zone

View all FAQsHow long does the IFZA Free Zone licence take?
Day to day, once your documents are complete, the authority typically issues the licence within 5 business days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in IFZA Free Zone?
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 completed.
Can I add more activities to my IFZA Free Zone licence later?
Yes. IFZA Free Zone allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few business days for a small authority fee.
How many visas can I get with a IFZA Free Zone licence?
Visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. IFZA Free Zone packages typically 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.
Can a IFZA Free Zone company do business on the UAE mainland?
A IFZA Free Zone company can sell to mainland customers through a mainland distributor, invoice services to mainland clients in most cases, and apply for a dual-licence arrangement where the emirate offers one. Direct retail or on-site contracting on the mainland needs a mainland licence.

More about IFZA
About the Free Zone Establishment (FZE)
The FZE is the go-to structure for solo founders in every major free zone and can later convert to a FZCO by adding shareholders.
Why the UAE
As a rule, banking, logistics, telecoms and digital government services in the UAE are among the most advanced in the region, which keeps the running costs of a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) in IFZA Free Zone predictable. The UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international clients and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) in IFZA Free Zone.
Why GoldenKey
Just as important, you deal with one named consultant from the first call until your IFZA Free Zone licence, visa and bank introduction are complete, and that consultant answers your WhatsApp messages personally. GoldenKey builds its own CRM and client portal, so you can see the status of your IFZA Free Zone application, download your paperwork and pay invoices from your phone. In short, our office is a short drive from the Ajman Free Zone, Ajman DED and the immigration centre, so physical submissions for a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) in IFZA Free Zone happen the same day they are ready.
