Gold & Jewellery Trading in the UAE for Malaysians

Wholesale and retail trading of gold, diamonds, precious stones and jewellery

Founders choose DMCC Free Zone when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. A DMCC Free Zone company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is released. Malaysians are a community in Islamic finance, halal food, oil and gas and education, so the DMCC Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Malaysian applications every day and process them without hesitation. The most common businesses Malaysians open through GoldenKey are in Islamic finance, halal food, oil and gas services and education, although DMCC Free Zone supports almost any activity.

Why DMCC Free Zone

Importantly, the authority permits Free Zone Company (DMCC FZE), Free Zone Company (DMCC FZCO), Branch and Subsidiary, which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. DMCC Free Zone licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date.
