DMCC Free Zone is world's #1 free zone — the premium choice for commodity traders and global brands, and it has become one of the most practical choices for company owners who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. DMCC Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. In our experience, ukrainians are a large and growing community, with many IT firms and traders relocating to Dubai since 2022, so the DMCC Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Ukrainian applications every day and process them without hesitation. Typical examples of this activity include bullion trading, diamond wholesale, jewellery retail and refinery supply, which can generally sit together on one DMCC Free Zone licence.
Why DMCC Free Zone
DMCC 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. Popular activities in DMCC Free Zone include commodity trading, gold & diamond, crypto & fintech, technology and professional services, and most of them can be combined on a single licence.
