Logistics & Freight Forwarding in the UAE for Latvians

Freight forwarding, cargo handling, courier services and supply-chain management

Founders choose JAFZA when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. A JAFZA company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. From day one, payments between Latvia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle promptly and UAE banks are familiar with Latvian business profiles. Put simply, for Latvian founders, the UAE is around 6.5 hours from Riga, the UAE is 1 to 2 hours ahead of Latvia, and English is the business language.

Why JAFZA

As a rule, office options in JAFZA range from office suite, showroom, warehouse, factory, bulk liquid facility or open yard, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. JAFZA licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date.
