About JAFZA
Why JAFZA
JAFZA is Jebel Ali — the world's largest free zone and gateway to global trade, and it has become one of the most practical choices for founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. Crucially, 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. Typical examples of this activity include equipment supply, inspection services, engineering support and chemicals trading, which can usually sit together on one JAFZA licence. As we tell every client, external approvals for oil & gas services are: ADNOC or operator vendor registration; ICV certification.
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.
One of the reasons we point clients to JAFZA is its world's largest port-adjacent free zone, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. JAFZA is located in Jebel Ali Port area, Dubai — adjacent to Jebel Ali Port (world's 9th busiest), and the issuing authority's processing time for a standard file is around 10 working days. To be clear, for oil & gas services, JAFZA offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
