Why Fujairah
A mainland company in Fujairah can hold a mainland office, hire staff under MOHRE contracts and register with the Chamber of Commerce for tenders. As a rule, 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. In practice, filipinos are one of the largest communities in the UAE, estimated at around 700,000 to 1,000,000 people, so the Fujairah authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Filipino applications every day and process them without hesitation. Filipino entrepreneurs run thousands of UAE restaurants, salons, clinics and trading firms, which gives Filipino entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Fujairah licence is issued.
As a rule, fujairah mainland licences are issued by the Fujairah Municipality and Department of Industry and Economy, which currently processes most standard files in around 4 working days. 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. Put simply, filipino applicants benefit from the fact that Fujairah already has many Filipino shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Philippines documents and name formats instantly.
