Media & Content Production in the UAE for Indonesians

Video production, photography, publishing, podcasting and content creation

Ajman Media City issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Ajman Media City combines specialised media licences with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. the UAE-Indonesia CEPA, in force since 2023, has opened the door for Indonesian exporters and investors, which gives Indonesian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Media City licence is issued. Media & Content Production in Ajman Media City means video production, photography, publishing, podcasting and content creation, and it is licensed as a professional activity.

Why Ajman Media City

Day to day, unlike some zones, Ajman Media City does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is granted. To be clear, one of the reasons we recommend Ajman Media City is its specialised media licences, which matters more than most business owners realise once the business is running.
