WhatsApp quoteAjman Media City combines specialised media licences with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, so it suits both first-time founders and established groups. 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. As a rule, media free zones issue these licences at the lowest cost in the UAE and permit freelance-style structures. Filming in public places still needs a permit from the relevant film commission. Singaporeans are a smaller but influential community in finance, logistics and technology, so the Ajman Media City authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Singaporean applications every day and process them without hesitation.
