About IFZA
Why IFZA Free Zone
IFZA Free Zone combines Dubai address with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time company owners and established groups. As a rule, founders choose IFZA Free Zone when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. GoldenKey has Singaporean clients from Singapore, and our consultants understand the documents issued in Singapore and how to attest them for the UAE. Payments between Singapore and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Singapore dollar (SGD) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Singaporean business profiles.
Put simply, popular activities in IFZA Free Zone include trading, services, technology, consultancy and manufacturing, and most of them can be combined on a single licence. IFZA Free Zone is located in Dubai Silicon Oasis district, Dubai — adjacent to Meydan and Academic City, and the authority's processing time for a standard file is around 5 business days. Singaporean applicants benefit from the fact that IFZA Free Zone already has many Singaporean shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Singapore documents and name formats instantly.
