Logistics & Freight Forwarding in the UAE for Greeks

Why JAFZA

As a rule, office options in JAFZA range from office suite, showroom, warehouse, factory, bulk liquid facility or open yard, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. One of the reasons we recommend JAFZA is its world's largest port-adjacent free zone, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running.

How JAFZA works with GoldenKey

1. 
   Step 1

   Consultation and activity selection

   In the first call we check that JAFZA lists your activity, settle the licence type and match the visa package and office to what you actually need.

2. 
   Step 2

   Name reservation and initial approval

   Your trade name is reserved with the JAFZA authority and initial approval is obtained; this stage rarely takes more than two working days. Nothing is submitted for opening a logistics company in the UAE as a Greek founder until you have reviewed and approved it.

3. 
   Step 3

   Document submission and payment

   With the forms and memorandum signed, GoldenKey lodges the attested documents and settles the licence fee with the issuing authority on your behalf.

4. 
   Step 4

   Licence issued and next steps

   JAFZA issues the licence, incorporation certificate and lease; from there we open the establishment card, process visas and arrange your bank introduction. Your portal shows the status of this step for opening a logistics company in the UAE as a Greek founder in real time.

Why the UAE

English is the working language of business, contracts are routinely drafted in English, and government portals are bilingual, which simplifies opening a logistics company in the UAE as a Greek founder for international entrepreneurs. To be clear, the UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international clients and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for opening a logistics company in the UAE as a Greek founder.
