WhatsApp quoteIf you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, Ajman Media City deserves a close look for its specialised media licences and straightforward renewal process. 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. To be clear, for Slovak founders, the UAE is around 6 hours via Vienna from Bratislava, the UAE is 2 to 3 hours ahead of Slovakia, and English is the business language. As a rule, media free zones such as Ajman Media City and Shams were built for this activity and price it competitively. Influencer and content-creation work in Dubai also requires the UAE Media Council advertiser permit.
Why Ajman Media City
In practice, one of the reasons our advice is to choose Ajman Media City is its specialised media licences, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. Crucially, competitive pricing vs. Dubai Media City and Shams.
