Why IFZA Free Zone

Frequently asked questions
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 documents, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
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 customers nine times out of ten, 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.
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 in most cases 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.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Latvia and the UAE?
Absolutely. The UAE and Latvia have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
Do Latvians need a UAE visa before applying for IFZA Free Zone?
No. You can apply for the licence from Latvia with scanned documents, and the investor residency visa is processed afterwards.
