About JAFZA

Why JAFZA

A JAFZA company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. JAFZA issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Czechs are a small community active in engineering, glass, aviation and software, so the JAFZA authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Czech applications every day and process them without hesitation. GoldenKey has Czech customers from Prague, Brno and Ostrava, and our consultants understand the documents issued in Czech Republic and how to attest them for the UAE.

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.

JAFZA is located in Jebel Ali Port area, Dubai — adjacent to Jebel Ali Port (world's 9th busiest), and the licensing authority's processing time for a standard file is around 10 working days. Unlike some zones, JAFZA does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. For Czechs, the practical advantages of JAFZA are the ease of travel between Czech Republic and the UAE, English is the business language, and a banking system that processes Czech koruna (CZK) transfers daily.
