About JAFZA
Why JAFZA
JAFZA issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. If you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, JAFZA deserves a close look for its world's largest port-adjacent free zone and simple renewal process. As we tell every client, printing presses need an industrial unit with civil defence approval. Digital print shops and sign makers can start on a commercial licence with a small workshop. Just as important, printing & Packaging in JAFZA means commercial printing, signage, labels and packaging production, and it is licensed as an industrial 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.
Put simply, 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. To be clear, home to 9,500+ companies including Fortune 500 brands. GoldenKey has licensed printing & packaging in JAFZA for clients ranging from solo founders to groups opening a regional branch, so we know which sub-activities to list.

Frequently asked questions

View all FAQsHow many visas can I get with a JAFZA licence?
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.
Can a JAFZA company do business on the UAE mainland?
A JAFZA company can sell to mainland customers through a mainland distributor, invoice services to mainland clients in most cases, and apply for a dual-licence arrangement where the emirate offers one. Direct retail or on-site contracting on the mainland needs a mainland licence.
Can I open a UAE bank account with a JAFZA company?
Yes, JAFZA companies open accounts with UAE banks every day. Approval depends on the bank's compliance review of your profile, business plan and documents, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
What approvals does printing & packaging need?
In short, civil defence; National Media Council for publishing print. GoldenKey obtains these as part of the setup.
Which licence type covers printing & packaging?
Printing & Packaging is classified as a industrial activity, and GoldenKey selects the exact activity code so your licence matches what you actually do.

Good to know
More about JAFZA
Why the UAE
Put simply, the dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for printing & packaging in JAFZA and makes international pricing simple. Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so printing & packaging in JAFZA no longer requires a local partner.
Why GoldenKey
