Marketing & Advertising Agency in the UAE for Vietnamese nationals

Digital marketing, social media management, advertising, branding and PR services

Setting up a company in Ajman Media City gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Ajman Media City combines specialised media licences with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, and that is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. Vietnamese nationals are a young community in trading, IT outsourcing and hospitality, so the Ajman Media City authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Vietnamese applications every day and process them without hesitation. Just as important, the most common businesses Vietnamese nationals open through GoldenKey are in electronics, textiles, agricultural exports and IT outsourcing, although Ajman Media City supports almost any activity.
