Logistics & Freight Forwarding in the UAE for Slovaks

Why JAFZA

One of the reasons we recommend JAFZA is its world's largest port-adjacent free zone, which matters more than most business owners realise once the business is running. Office options in JAFZA range from office suite, showroom, warehouse, factory, bulk liquid facility or open yard, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs.

How JAFZA works with GoldenKey

1. 
   Step 1

   Consultation and activity selection

   As we tell every client, in the first call we check that JAFZA lists your activity, settle the licence type and match the visa package and office to what you actually need. We keep a written record of this step so your file for opening a logistics company in the UAE as a Slovak founder is audit-ready.

2. 
   Step 2

   Name reservation and initial approval

   In our experience, your trade name is reserved with the JAFZA authority and initial approval is obtained; this stage rarely takes more than two working days.

3. 
   Step 3

   Document submission and payment

   For most clients, you sign the file forms and memorandum, we submit the attested documents and the licence fee is paid to the issuing authority. For opening a logistics company in the UAE as a Slovak founder this step rarely needs your presence; scans and e-signatures are enough.

4. 
   Step 4

   Licence issued and next steps

   To be clear, your JAFZA licence, certificate of incorporation and lease are issued, and we move straight on to the establishment card, visas and bank introduction.
