Fujairah Oil Industry Zone (FOIZ) & Free Zone Options

FOIZ hosts storage terminals, refining and oil industry operations beside the port. Most service and trading firms serving FOIZ license in Fujairah Free Zone; a FOIZ presence itself is for industrial operators.

Limits & eligibility

Good to know

  • Free zone entities sell goods to the UAE mainland through customs or a distributor.
  • Regulated activities (food, medical, media, petroleum) need additional approvals.
  • Visa allocation follows facility size; banks decide independently on accounts.
  • Corporate tax applies at 9% above AED 375,000 profit; qualifying free zone income may be 0% subject to conditions.
