Textile & Garments Trading in the UAE for Hungarians

Importing and wholesaling fabrics, garments, uniforms and home textiles

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 founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. Day to day, 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. For most clients, payments between Hungary and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Hungarian forint (HUF) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Hungarian business profiles.

Why Ajman Free Zone

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. The authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch of Foreign Company, which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch.
