About JAFZA
Why JAFZA
GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through JAFZA company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. Setting up a company in JAFZA gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Photography & Videography in JAFZA means commercial, wedding, product and real estate photography and videography, and it is licensed as a professional activity. In our experience, typical examples of this activity include wedding photographer, product photography, drone videography (with GCAA permit) and real estate photography, which can usually sit together on one JAFZA licence.
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.
Importantly, office options in JAFZA range from office suite, showroom, warehouse, factory, bulk liquid facility or open yard, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. As we tell every client, unlike some zones, JAFZA does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is granted. For photography & videography, JAFZA offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
