Many of our customers pair an IFZA Offshore holding company with a free zone operating company, keeping ownership and operations neatly separated. IFZA Offshore is a Dubai-registered offshore company with the IFZA name behind it, and incorporation normally completes within 5 working days of receiving your papers. The most common businesses Hungarians open through GoldenKey are in healthcare, IT services, engineering and food exports, although IFZA Offshore supports almost any activity. Hungarians are a community of engineers, doctors, IT professionals and hospitality staff, so the IFZA Offshore authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Hungarian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why IFZA Offshore
Offshore companies registered in the UAE benefit from the country's reputation, which is stronger with banks than many traditional offshore jurisdictions. An IFZA Offshore company cannot rent an office, sponsor visas or trade inside the UAE, which is precisely why its fees are so low. As a rule, for Hungarians, the practical advantages of IFZA Offshore are the ease of travel between Hungary and the UAE, English is the business language, and a banking system that processes Hungarian forint (HUF) transfers daily.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can an IFZA Offshore company be set up?
With complete paperwork, incorporation in most cases takes 5 working days.
Can an IFZA Offshore company trade with UAE customers?
No, it does not. Offshore companies trade internationally only. For UAE customers you need a free zone or mainland licence, which GoldenKey can set up alongside the offshore company.
Can an IFZA Offshore company own property in the UAE?
IFZA Offshore companies can own real estate in approved freehold areas where the land department accepts the structure. GoldenKey confirms the current rules for the emirate you are buying in.
Can a Hungarian citizen own 100% of a company in IFZA Offshore?
Yes. Hungarians can own the full share capital of a IFZA Offshore company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Hungary and the UAE?
Yes, it can. The UAE and Hungary have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
