Textile & Garments Trading in the UAE for Thai nationals

Why Ajman Free Zone

In short, unlike some zones, Ajman Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. 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.

How Ajman Free Zone works with GoldenKey

1. 
   Step 1

   Consultation and activity selection

   In the first call we check that Ajman Free Zone lists your activity, settle the licence type and match the visa package and office to what you actually need.

2. 
   Step 2

   Name reservation and initial approval

   We submit your preferred trade names to Ajman Free Zone and secure initial approval, normally within a day or two of submission. If the authority raises a query on opening a textile trading company in the UAE as a Thai founder at this stage, we handle it the same day.

3. 
   Step 3

   Document submission and payment

   You sign the file forms and memorandum, we submit the attested documents and the licence fee is paid to the authority.

4. 
   Step 4

   Licence issued and next steps

   Ajman Free Zone issues the licence, incorporation certificate and lease; from there we open the establishment card, process visas and arrange your bank introduction. Nothing is submitted for opening a textile trading company in the UAE as a Thai founder until you have reviewed and approved it.
