Gold & Jewellery Trading in the UAE for Belgians

Why DMCC Free Zone

DMCC Free Zone is located in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), Dubai — central business district, and the registrar's processing time for a standard file is around 7 working days. Unlike some zones, DMCC Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued.

Banking, logistics, telecoms and digital government services in the UAE are among the most advanced in the region, which keeps the running costs of opening a gold and jewellery trading company in the UAE as a Belgian founder predictable.
