Media & Content Production in the UAE for Canadians

Why Ajman Media City

The authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE) and Free Zone Company (FZCO), which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. Unlike some zones, Ajman Media City does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued.
