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. A JAFZA company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is released. GoldenKey has licensed hospitality business businesses for clients in JAFZA and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. Typical examples of this activity include holiday homes, desert safari operator, yacht charter and hotel management, 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.
The authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO), Branch and Public Company, which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. One of the reasons we recommend JAFZA is its world's largest port-adjacent free zone, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. For tourism & hospitality, JAFZA offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
