WhatsApp quoteIn our experience, founders choose DMCC Free Zone when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. DMCC Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Day to day, the most common businesses Turkish nationals open through GoldenKey are in construction, textiles and garments, food and beverage and furniture, although DMCC Free Zone supports almost any activity. In our experience, turkish nationals are a growing community of traders, contractors and restaurateurs, especially in Dubai, so the DMCC Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Turkish applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why DMCC Free Zone
As a rule, unlike some zones, DMCC Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. DMCC Free Zone is located in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), Dubai — central business district, and the issuing authority's processing time for a standard file is around 7 working days.
