WhatsApp quoteSAIF Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Sharjah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Setting up a company in SAIF Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. In short, slovenians are a small community in pharmaceuticals, engineering and tourism, so the SAIF Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Slovenian applications every day and process them without hesitation. 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 SAIF Zone licence is issued.
Why SAIF Zone

SAIF Zone is located in Adjacent to Sharjah International Airport — direct airside access, and the registrar's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days (Monday to Friday).
