Just as important, since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Fujairah mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection founders used to have. A mainland company in Fujairah can hold a mainland office, hire staff under MOHRE contracts and register with the Chamber of Commerce for tenders. The most common businesses Estonians open through GoldenKey are in technology, fintech, e-residency services and cybersecurity, although Fujairah supports almost any activity. For most clients, payments between Estonia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Estonian business profiles.
Why Fujairah
Government and semi-government tenders in Fujairah require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges. Importantly, among the strengths of a Fujairah mainland licence are direct Indian Ocean port access and World-class bunkering hub, which is why local service businesses gravitate here. GoldenKey has prepared Fujairah files for Estonian clients in technology, fintech, e-residency services and cybersecurity, which means we know which Estonia documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
