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 combines world's largest port-adjacent free zone with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time business owners and established groups. the UAE-Indonesia CEPA, in force since 2023, has opened the door for Indonesian exporters and investors, which gives Indonesian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their JAFZA licence is released. Put simply, for Indonesian company owners, the UAE is around 8.5 hours from Jakarta, 3 hours ahead of the UAE, and English is the working language.
Why JAFZA
JAFZA is located in Jebel Ali Port area, Dubai — adjacent to Jebel Ali Port (world's 9th busiest), and the registrar's processing time for a standard file is around 10 working days (Monday to Friday). On the ground, one of the reasons our advice is to choose JAFZA is its world's largest port-adjacent free zone, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. GoldenKey has prepared JAFZA files for Indonesian clients in halal food, furniture, hospitality and palm oil, which means we know which Indonesia documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the JAFZA licence take?
To be clear, once your documents are complete, the authority typically issues the licence within 10 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Can I add more activities to my JAFZA licence later?
Yes, it can. JAFZA allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few working days (Monday to Friday) for a small authority fee.
How many visas can I get with a JAFZA licence?
Visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. JAFZA 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.
How long does the process take for Indonesian applicants?
As a rule, processing for Indonesians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Indonesia that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
Can a Indonesian citizen own 100% of a company in JAFZA?
Yes. Indonesians can own the full share capital of a JAFZA company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
