WhatsApp quoteA Fujairah mainland licence, granted by the Fujairah Municipality and Department of Industry and Economy, lets your company trade anywhere in the UAE, bid for government work and open as many branches as you need. For most clients, mainland company formation in Fujairah is the right choice when your customers are inside the UAE, when you need a shop, clinic or contracting classification, or when visa quota matters. Importantly, choosing Fujairah mainland gives you a licence that landlords, government departments and large corporate clients recognise without a second thought.
Why Fujairah
To be clear, government and semi-government tenders in Fujairah require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges.

Importantly, fujairah mainland licences are released by the Fujairah Municipality and Department of Industry and Economy, which currently processes most standard files in around 4 working days.

Frequently asked questions
Do I still need an Emirati partner for a Fujairah mainland company?
For most commercial and industrial activities, no. Since 2021 foreign nationals can own 100% of a Fujairah mainland LLC. A short list of strategic activities still requires Emirati participation, and GoldenKey checks your activity before you commit.
How much office space do I need for a Fujairah mainland licence?
The Fujairah Municipality and Department of Industry and Economy requires a registered tenancy for most licences. A small office or a desk in a business centre is enough for a few visas, and the visa quota increases with the floor area.
Can a Fujairah mainland company trade in other emirates?
Yes. A mainland licence is valid across the UAE, and you can open branches in other emirates by registering with their economic departments.
How long does Fujairah mainland company formation take?
With documents and a tenancy contract ready, the Fujairah Municipality and Department of Industry and Economy typically issues the licence within 4 working days. External approvals for regulated activities add time.
Can I convert my free zone company to a Fujairah mainland company?
You cannot convert directly, but you can open a mainland branch of your free zone company or set up a new mainland LLC and transfer the business. GoldenKey advises on the most tax-efficient route.
