E-commerce in the UAE for Greeks

Selling physical or digital products online through your own store or marketplaces such as Amazon.ae and Noon

Ajman Free Zone combines among the most affordable in the UAE with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, and that is why it suits both first-time company owners and established groups. Ajman Free Zone is one of the UAE's most affordable free zones — 0-visa packages from AED 5,500, and it has become one of the most practical choices for company owners who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. Greek shipowners and hospitality groups are deeply connected to the UAE market, which gives Greek entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Free Zone licence is issued. In practice, greeks are a community concentrated in shipping, hospitality, construction and food, so the Ajman Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Greek applications every day and process them without hesitation.

Why Ajman Free Zone

To be clear, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch of Foreign Company, which covers solo entrepreneurs, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. Office options in Ajman Free Zone range from flexi-desk, office suite or warehouse, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs.
