Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about IFZA. Anything else — ask GK AI or message us.
View all FAQsDo I need to visit the UAE to set up in IFZA Free Zone?
Most IFZA Free Zone licences can be issued 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 processed.
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 as a rule 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 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.
Do Slovaks need a UAE visa before applying for IFZA Free Zone?
No. You can apply for the licence from Slovakia with scanned papers, and the investor residence visa is processed afterwards.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Slovakia and the UAE?
Absolutely. The UAE and Slovakia 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.
