E-commerce in the UAE for Romanians

Selling physical or digital products online through your own store or marketplaces such as Amazon.ae and Noon

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. On the ground, founders choose Ajman 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. Romanians are a large community working in hospitality, aviation, construction and IT, so the Ajman Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Romanian applications every day and process them without hesitation. Romanian IT talent and construction firms are well represented in Dubai, which gives Romanian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Free Zone licence is released.

Why Ajman Free Zone

Ajman Port adjacent — ideal for import/export traders. Crucially, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch of Foreign Company, which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch.
