About JAFZA
Why JAFZA
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. 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 business owners who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. Pharmaceutical & Medical Supplies in JAFZA means importing and distributing medicines, medical devices and healthcare consumables, and it is licensed as a commercial activity. As a rule, medicines and medical devices are controlled by MOHAP and the local health authority. Importers need a licensed pharmacist in charge and a registered warehouse. Jebel Ali offers approved pharma warehousing for regional distribution.
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 granted. JAFZA licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date. GoldenKey has licensed pharmaceutical & medical supplies in JAFZA for customers ranging from solo founders to groups opening a regional branch, so we know which sub-activities to list.
