Who Ajman Free Zone suits
Trading SMEs
Businesses seeking eligible commercial activities with scope, facility, and customs implications checked in advance.
Service companies
Professional and service-led businesses looking for an Ajman base aligned with their operating model.
Light industrial operations
Eligible operators that may require a facility, additional approvals, or an industrial activity.
Licence types
Commercial
For eligible trading and commercial activities on the authority's current activity list.
Service
For eligible professional and service activities.
Industrial
For eligible manufacturing or light-industrial activities, subject to premises and external approvals.
Activity names and combinations remain subject to the authority's current activity list and approval. We confirm the exact licensed wording before submission.
Practical setup details
The final package and process depend on the approved activity and the authority's current requirements.
Visa capacity
Visa capacity depends on the licence package, leased facility, activity, and current immigration rules. We confirm the appropriate allocation against the staffing plan.
Physical-presence requirement
Formation requirements vary with activity and facility type. Visa applicants must complete any required UAE medical, biometrics, and immigration steps in person.
Indicative timeline
Allow several working days for a complete straightforward application, and longer where a facility, industrial approval, or immigration process is required.
What CoreSpaces handles
Activity & zone matching
We test the intended activity, visa needs, premises, and operating model against this zone and credible alternatives before recommending a route.
Partner portal submission
We prepare and submit the application through the applicable partner process, then track authority requests and status updates.
Document preparation
We organise shareholder documents, name choices, activity information, and zone-specific forms before submission.
Visa coordination
Where visas are required, we coordinate the post-licence steps and explain the medical, Emirates ID, and immigration sequence.
Renewals
We track the annual licence renewal and coordinate any establishment-card, immigration-file, or visa renewals that apply.
Ajman Free Zone is a distinct authority from Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone. The two are not interchangeable, aliased, or treated as the same zone.
Fees
Authority tariffs and package inclusions can change.
No starting rate is shown until confirmed against the authority's current published tariff. We provide a scoped fee summary for the selected activity, visa requirement, and package before submission.
Compare before choosing
A free zone should fit the licensed activity, visa plan, operating model, and renewal obligations—not simply the headline package. Tell us about your setup and we will compare the relevant options.
