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. Ajman Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Slovenian pharmaceutical and engineering exports reach the Gulf via Dubai, which gives Slovenian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Free Zone licence is issued. In our experience, general Trading in Ajman Free Zone means import, export, re-export and wholesale of a broad range of goods under one licence, and it is licensed as a commercial activity.
Why Ajman Free Zone
Ajman Port adjacent — ideal for import/export traders. Ajman Free Zone licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date.
