About IFZA
Why IFZA Free Zone
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 entrepreneurs who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. 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. Setting up a company in IFZA Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family.
In practice, one of the reasons we suggest IFZA Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. From day one, unlike some zones, IFZA Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. In short, strong track record for UAE bank account approvals.

Frequently asked questions

View all FAQsWhat is the difference between an FZE and an FZCO in IFZA Free Zone?
An FZE has one shareholder and an FZCO has two or more. Both offer limited liability and 100% foreign ownership, and the fees in IFZA Free Zone are generally the same.
How long does the IFZA Free Zone licence take?
In our experience, once your paperwork 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?
From day one, most IFZA Free Zone licences can be issued remotely with scanned documents and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residency visa is handled.
How many visas can I get with a IFZA Free Zone licence?
Put simply, 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
Changing your package at renewal
Renewal is the natural moment to move to a larger or smaller IFZA Free Zone package, add activities or change the office option. We review your plans before each renewal so the package still fits.
Documents for renewal
Renewal in IFZA Free Zone normally needs only updated passport copies, the previous licence and payment. If the registrar requires audited accounts for your company size, GoldenKey can arrange bookkeeping and audit in time.
Why the UAE
In practice, double taxation agreements with more than 130 countries help UAE companies avoid being taxed twice on cross-border income. The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for renewing a licence in IFZA Free Zone and makes international pricing simple.
