WhatsApp quoteAjman Media City combines specialised media licences with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, and for that reason it suits both first-time business owners and established groups. Ajman Media City issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. In our experience, the most common businesses Malaysians open through GoldenKey are in Islamic finance, halal food, oil and gas services and education, although Ajman Media City supports almost any activity. For most clients, malaysians are a community in Islamic finance, halal food, oil and gas and education, so the Ajman Media City authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Malaysian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Ajman Media City
From day one, competitive pricing vs. Dubai Media City and Shams. 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is an audit required for a Ajman Media City company?
On the ground, requirements vary by zone and by company size. GoldenKey will confirm the current Ajman Media City rule when we prepare your quotation, and we provide bookkeeping if you need accounts in any case for corporate tax.
How long does the Ajman Media City licence take?
Once your documents are complete, the authority normally issues the licence within 3 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Can a Ajman Media City company do business on the UAE mainland?
A Ajman Media City company can sell to mainland customers through a mainland distributor, invoice services to mainland clients generally, and apply for a dual-licence arrangement where the emirate offers one. Direct retail or on-site contracting on the mainland needs a mainland licence.

Not in that case. You can apply for the licence from Malaysia with scanned paperwork, and the investor residence visa is processed afterwards.
Which licence type covers marketing & advertising agency?
On the ground, marketing & Advertising Agency is classified as a professional activity, and GoldenKey selects the exact activity code so your licence matches what you actually do.
