About JAFZA

Why JAFZA

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 founders and established groups. GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through JAFZA company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. Lithuanians are a small community of fintech founders, engineers and traders, so the JAFZA authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Lithuanian applications every day and process them without hesitation. The most common businesses Lithuanians open through GoldenKey are in fintech, laser technology, food exports and logistics, although JAFZA supports almost any activity.

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 registrar's processing time for a standard file is around 10 business days. For most clients, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO), Branch and Public Company, which covers solo business owners, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. Many Lithuanian founders run JAFZA companies alongside an existing business in Lithuania, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.

View all FAQs
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in JAFZA?

Most JAFZA licences can be issued remotely with scanned supporting documents and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residency visa is processed.

How long does the JAFZA licence take?

As we tell every client, once your documents are complete, the authority typically issues the licence within 10 working days (Monday to Friday). Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.

How many visas can I get with a JAFZA licence?

From day one, 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 Lithuanian applicants?

Crucially, processing for Lithuanians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Lithuania that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.

Can a Lithuanian citizen own 100% of a company in JAFZA?

Yes. Lithuanians can own the full share capital of a JAFZA company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.

More about JAFZA

Why the UAE

The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for JAFZA company formation for Lithuanians and makes international pricing simple.
