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. JAFZA combines world's largest port-adjacent free zone with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. Just as important, travel agencies need approval from the emirate's tourism department and a bank guarantee. Inbound tour operators in Dubai register with DET and must employ a licensed tour guide for guided activities. GoldenKey has licensed travel agency businesses for customers in JAFZA and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.
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.
Crucially, one of the reasons our advice is to choose JAFZA is its world's largest port-adjacent free zone, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. For most clients, unlike some zones, JAFZA does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. JAFZA is a sensible home for travel & tourism agency because inbound and outbound travel, tour operating, ticketing and holiday packages is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.
