Frequently asked questions
How long does the IFZA Free Zone licence take?
On the ground, once your papers are complete, the registrar typically issues the licence within 5 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
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.
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.
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 working days for a small authority fee.
