Why Fujairah
As we tell every client, choosing Fujairah mainland gives you a licence that landlords, government departments and large corporate clients recognise without a second thought. In our experience, fujairah is the UAE's east-coast gateway — shipping, bunkering and Indian Ocean trade, and GoldenKey registers mainland companies there with the economic department week in, week out. As we tell every client, australians are a community of more than 15,000 residents in education, construction, hospitality and sports, so the Fujairah authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Australian applications every day and process them without hesitation. Payments between Australia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Australian dollar (AUD) transfers settle without delay and UAE banks are familiar with Australian business profiles.
Fujairah Port is one of the world's top three bunkering ports. A Fujairah mainland company can apply for an unlimited visa quota in proportion to its office space, which free zone packages cannot match. GoldenKey has prepared Fujairah files for Australian clients in education, construction, hospitality and sports, which means we know which Australia papers need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
