WhatsApp quoteAjman Media City is UAE's media and content-creator hub — licences from AED 5,000, and it has become one of the most practical choices for entrepreneurs who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. An Ajman Media City company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. In practice, lithuanians are a small community of fintech founders, engineers and traders, so the Ajman Media City authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Lithuanian applications every day and process them without hesitation. As we tell every client, payments between Lithuania and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle promptly and UAE banks are familiar with Lithuanian business profiles.

Ajman Media City is located in Ajman emirate — media & creative industry cluster, and the authority's processing time for a standard file is around 3 working days. Ajman Media City licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date.
