WhatsApp quoteSAIF Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Sharjah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. A SAIF Zone company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. From day one, ukrainians are a large and growing community, with many IT firms and traders relocating to Dubai since 2022, so the SAIF Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Ukrainian applications every day and process them without hesitation. On the ground, ukrainian IT outsourcing firms and grain traders increasingly operate through UAE free zone companies, which gives Ukrainian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their SAIF Zone licence is issued.
