General Trading in the UAE for Hungarians

Import, export, re-export and wholesale of a broad range of goods under one licence

Ajman Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Ajman Free Zone combines among the most affordable in the UAE with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. In practice, hungarians are a community of engineers, doctors, IT professionals and hospitality staff, so the Ajman Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Hungarian applications every day and process them without hesitation. The most common businesses Hungarians open through GoldenKey are in healthcare, IT services, engineering and food exports, although Ajman Free Zone supports almost any activity.

Why Ajman Free Zone

The authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch of Foreign Company, which covers solo business owners, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. One of the reasons we recommend Ajman Free Zone is its among the most affordable in the UAE, which matters more than most business owners realise once the business is running.
