About JAFZA
Why JAFZA
Just as important, 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. Setting up a company in JAFZA gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Egyptian professionals form the backbone of many UAE engineering, legal and media firms, and Egypt-UAE investment flows are among the highest in the region, which gives Egyptian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their JAFZA licence is issued. GoldenKey has Egyptian clients from Cairo, Alexandria and Giza, and our consultants understand the documents issued in Egypt 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.
On the ground, unlike some zones, JAFZA does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. Importantly, dP World logistics ecosystem integration. Many Egyptian company owners run JAFZA companies alongside an existing business in Egypt, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
