Office Suite explained
A dedicated office suite is a private, lockable office in the free zone building. It raises your visa quota in proportion to floor area and is expected by most banks for companies with staff. In JAFZA, GoldenKey matches the office option to the visa quota you actually need so you are not paying for space you will not use.
