About JAFZA
Why founders choose JAFZA
JAFZA issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through JAFZA company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. JAFZA combines world's largest port-adjacent free zone with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, and for that reason it suits both first-time founders and established groups.
Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) is Dubai's flagship free zone, built around Jebel Ali Port and next to Al Maktoum International Airport. It is the natural home for trading, logistics, light industry and regional headquarters that move goods in and out of the UAE. Companies are formed as an FZE (one shareholder), an FZCO (two or more shareholders) or a Branch, with 100% foreign ownership. Facilities range from a 6 sqm workstation to offices from 27 sqm, warehouses from 313 sqm, showrooms and plots of land — the facility you lease decides your visa quota. GoldenKey handles the full JAFZA application for you: name, licence type, activity selection, facility choice, registration, Computer Immigration Card and visas.
On the ground, dP World logistics ecosystem integration. JAFZA licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date. One of the reasons we point clients to JAFZA is its world's largest port-adjacent free zone, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. Office options in JAFZA range from office suite, showroom, warehouse, factory, bulk liquid facility or open yard, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs.

View all FAQsWhat is the difference between an FZE and an FZCO in JAFZA?
An FZE has one shareholder and an FZCO has two or more. Both offer limited liability and 100% foreign ownership, and the fees in JAFZA are usually the same.
How long does the JAFZA licence take?
Once your documents are complete, the authority typically issues the licence within 10 business days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Is an audit required for a JAFZA company?
Requirements vary by zone and by company size. GoldenKey will confirm the current JAFZA rule when we prepare your quotation, and we provide bookkeeping if you need accounts in any case for corporate tax.
Can I open a UAE bank account with a JAFZA company?
Yes, JAFZA companies open accounts with UAE banks every day. Approval depends on the bank's compliance review of your profile, business plan and paperwork, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
How many visas can I get with a JAFZA licence?
Just as important, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. JAFZA 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.
