WhatsApp quoteAjman 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. Ajman Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Put simply, payments between Indonesia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Indonesian rupiah (IDR) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Indonesian business profiles. In practice, the most common businesses Indonesians open through GoldenKey are in halal food, furniture, hospitality and palm oil, although Ajman Free Zone supports almost any activity.
