Textile & Garments Trading in the UAE for Danes

Importing and wholesaling fabrics, garments, uniforms and home textiles

To be clear, setting up a company in Ajman Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Ajman Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. The most common businesses Danes open through GoldenKey are in logistics, pharmaceuticals, wind energy and design, although Ajman Free Zone supports almost any activity. Crucially, danes are a design-led community active in logistics, pharmaceuticals and renewable energy, so the Ajman Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Danish applications every day and process them without hesitation.

Why Ajman Free Zone

Ajman Free 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. Over 9,000 active companies from 160+ nationalities.
