WhatsApp quoteIFZA Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. IFZA Free Zone combines Dubai address with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time company owners and established groups. In our experience, slovenian pharmaceutical and engineering exports reach the Gulf via Dubai, which gives Slovenian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their IFZA Free Zone licence is issued. Payments between Slovenia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle promptly and UAE banks are familiar with Slovenian business profiles.
Why IFZA Free Zone
IFZA 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. Importantly, office options in IFZA Free Zone range from virtual office, flexi-desk, office suite or warehouse, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs.
