Put simply, 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. GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through Ajman Free Zone company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. For most clients, cosmetics imported into the UAE must be registered with the municipality's consumer products section (Montaji in Dubai) before sale. Free zone traders re-exporting to Africa and the GCC avoid local registration until goods enter the mainland. Put simply, payments between Vietnam and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Vietnamese dong (VND) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Vietnamese business profiles.

Why Ajman Free Zone

From day one, office options in Ajman Free Zone range from flexi-desk, office suite or warehouse, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. Just as important, unlike some zones, Ajman Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued.
