Logistics & Freight Forwarding in the UAE for Slovenians

Why JAFZA

From day one, unlike some zones, JAFZA does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. JAFZA is located in Jebel Ali Port area, Dubai — adjacent to Jebel Ali Port (world's 9th busiest), and the authority's processing time for a standard file is around 10 working days.

How JAFZA works with GoldenKey

1. 
   Step 1

   Consultation and activity selection

   GoldenKey starts by confirming your activity is available in JAFZA, then agrees the licence category, visa quota and office option with you in writing. We keep a written record of this step so your file for opening a logistics company in the UAE as a Slovenian founder is audit-ready.

2. 
   Step 2

   Name reservation and initial approval

   GoldenKey reserves your trade name with the JAFZA authority and obtains initial approval, usually within one to two working days (Monday to Friday).

3. 
   Step 3

   Document submission and payment

   You sign the submission and memorandum, we file the attested paperwork with JAFZA and the licensing authority's licence fee is paid. For opening a logistics company in the UAE as a Slovenian founder this step rarely needs your presence; scans and e-signatures are enough.

4. 
   Step 4

   Licence issued and next steps

   Once the JAFZA licence and company documents are released, we move immediately to the immigration file, residence visas and the bank meeting.
