General Trading in the UAE for Slovaks

Import, export, re-export and wholesale of a broad range of goods under one licence

Ajman Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. An Ajman 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 granted. The most common businesses Slovaks open through GoldenKey are in automotive, IT services, hospitality and engineering, although Ajman Free Zone supports almost any activity. Slovaks are a small community in automotive, IT and hospitality, so the Ajman Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Slovak applications every day and process them without hesitation.
