A mainland company in Fujairah can hold a mainland office, hire staff under MOHRE contracts and register with the Chamber of Commerce for tenders. Tourism & Hospitality in Fujairah means holiday homes, hotel management, desert safaris, yacht charters and tour experiences, and it is licensed as a commercial activity. Typical examples of this activity include holiday homes, desert safari operator, yacht charter and hotel management, which can usually sit together on one Fujairah licence.

Frequently asked questions

Are Fujairah mainland companies subject to corporate tax?

Yes. Mainland companies pay 9% corporate tax on profits above AED 375,000 and must register with the FTA, which GoldenKey handles as part of your setup.

What is the difference between Fujairah mainland and a free zone?

Mainland companies can trade directly with any UAE customer and take government contracts; free zone companies have lower costs and customs benefits but trade with the mainland through distributors. GoldenKey compares both for your specific activity.

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.

Can I combine tourism & hospitality with other activities?

In most cases yes. Related activities can share one licence, while unrelated ones may need a general trading licence or a second licence.

Which licence type covers tourism & hospitality?

Tourism & Hospitality is classified as a commercial activity, and GoldenKey selects the exact activity code so your licence matches what you actually do.
