About JAFZA

Why JAFZA

On the ground, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, JAFZA deserves a close look for its world's largest port-adjacent free zone and straightforward renewal process. In our experience, founders choose JAFZA 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 licensed training institute businesses for clients in JAFZA and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. External approvals for education & training are: KHDA, ADEK or MOE depending on emirate and course type.

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.

As we tell every client, unlike some zones, JAFZA does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. Direct access to Jebel Ali Port — 15% of Dubai's GDP passes through here. JAFZA is a sensible home for education & training because training centres, tutoring, corporate training, e-learning and vocational institutes is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.
