Ajman Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ajman, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Setting up a company in Ajman Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Typical examples of this activity include perfume wholesale, private-label skincare, cosmetics retail and oud trading, which can typically sit together on one Ajman Free Zone licence. To be clear, for Turkish entrepreneurs, the UAE is around 4.5 hours from Istanbul from Ankara, the UAE is 1 hour ahead of Türkiye, and English is the working language; Turkish-speaking advisers are available.
Why Ajman Free Zone

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.
