Importing, distributing and re-exporting packaged food, beverages and agricultural products

from AED 5,565AED 4,452Save 20%

GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through Ajman Free Zone company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. 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. Latvian logistics and timber exporters use Dubai as a Middle East distribution point, which gives Latvian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Free Zone licence is released. In short, latvians are a small community in logistics, IT and timber trading, so the Ajman Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Latvian applications every day and process them without hesitation.

Why Ajman Free Zone

Importantly, 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.
