WhatsApp quoteIn practice, founders choose JAFZA when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. A JAFZA company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is granted. From day one, the most common businesses Vietnamese nationals open through GoldenKey are in electronics, textiles, agricultural exports and IT outsourcing, although JAFZA supports almost any activity. Vietnamese nationals are a young community in trading, IT outsourcing and hospitality, so the JAFZA authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Vietnamese applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why JAFZA
JAFZA is located in Jebel Ali Port area, Dubai — adjacent to Jebel Ali Port (world's 9th busiest), and the issuing authority's processing time for a standard file is around 10 working days. In our experience, the authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO), Branch and Public Company, which covers solo business owners, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch.
