What is Ajman Free Zone?

The emirate of Ajman, which is next to the emirate of Sharjah and the north of the United Arab Emirates, is home to the Ajman Free Zone (AFZ), a free economic zone. Offices and warehouses are available for rent in this large region. 

One of the first and most well-known free zones in the Emirates was created in 1988 and presently houses about 9,000 businesses from various industries.

According to FDI Intelligence Magazine, the Ajman Free Zone was one of the top 10 free economic zones in the world in 2021.

Advantages of obtaining a Freelancer's License in Ajman

  • Affordability: Less expensive than equivalent licenses in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
  • Mobility: Working from any location in the United Arab Emirates.
  • Ease of obtaining: The license process is simple, quick, and requires little paperwork.
  • Convenience: You can work from home instead of opening an office.
  • No sponsorship: Sponsorship from a local partner or employer is not necessary.
  • Resident visa: Offers you and your family members a two-year visa that is renewable after that.

Limitations of the Freelance License in Ajman

Without a doubt, choosing the license and free zone wisely is essential. The Ajman Freezone Visa, for instance, includes several requirements:

  • Possible restrictions related to bank account creation. With this license, you can only open a personal bank account, which may take some work. Think about this if your company requires a corporate bank account; if so, look into other licensing or free zones such as TECOM or Umm Al Quwain.
  • Inability to hire employees. Additionally, only one kind of activity is allowed with a freelance license.
  • You can apply for investor visas, which are identical to those granted for real estate investments if you have an Ajman freelance license. In other emirates, where banks are more accommodating, a freelance license may be able to provide a work visa that specifies a profession or occupation.
  • It’s possible that some big clients need their company registered in their emirate. They may require you to establish a business in one of their free zones or on the mainland if you want to engage with significant clientele from Dubai or Abu Dhabi. This restriction is especially important for big events held at places like Etihad Arena.
