WhatsApp quoteAjman Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. 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. Crucially, omanis are GCC nationals with the right to own UAE mainland businesses and cross the border freely, so the Ajman Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Omani applications every day and process them without hesitation. GoldenKey has Omani customers from Muscat, Salalah and Sohar, and our consultants understand the paperwork granted in Oman and how to attest them for the UAE.
Why Ajman Free Zone
In our experience, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch of Foreign Company, which covers solo entrepreneurs, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. Importantly, one of the oldest free zones in the UAE, established 1988.

Frequently asked questions
How many visas can I get with a Ajman Free Zone licence?
As we tell every client, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. Ajman Free Zone packages in most cases start from a zero-visa option and scale to five or more visas with a physical office, and additional visas can be added later for the per-visa fee shown in our pricing.
Can a Ajman Free Zone company do business on the UAE mainland?
A Ajman Free Zone company can sell to mainland customers through a mainland distributor, invoice services to mainland clients in most cases, 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.
How long does the Ajman Free Zone licence take?
Once your documents are complete, the authority typically issues the licence within 3 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Is textile & garments trading allowed in Ajman Free Zone?
Yes. Omanis can own 100% of a textile trading company in the UAE. GoldenKey recommends Ajman Free Zone for this activity and confirms any sector approvals before you commit.
How long does the process take for Omani applicants?
Processing for Omanis follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Oman that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
