Printing & Packaging in the UAE for Australians

Why SAIF Zone

In our experience, office options in SAIF Zone range from flexi-desk, office suite, warehouse, factory unit or land lease, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. SAIF Zone licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date.

How SAIF Zone works with GoldenKey

1. 
   Step 1

   Consultation and activity selection

   To be clear, in the first call we check that SAIF Zone lists your activity, settle the licence type and match the visa package and office to what you actually need. Nothing is submitted for opening a printing and packaging company in the UAE as an Australian founder until you have reviewed and approved it.

2. 
   Step 2

   Name reservation and initial approval

   We submit your preferred trade names to SAIF Zone and secure initial approval, normally within a day or two of submission.

3. 
   Step 3

   Document submission and payment

   You sign the application and memorandum, we file the attested paperwork with SAIF Zone and the authority's licence fee is paid. This is also the point at which we answer any question specific to opening a printing and packaging company in the UAE as an Australian founder.

4. 
   Step 4

   Licence issued and next steps

   Once the SAIF Zone licence and company documents are released, we move immediately to the immigration file, residence visas and the bank meeting.
