JAFZA
Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority
Why this zone
The only zone that makes sense if you handle physical goods. Adjacency to Jebel Ali port and bonded warehouse status cannot be replaced by an address.
What to watch for
The physical office is not optional. If your activity is entirely digital, you are paying for infrastructure you will never use.
Fee breakdown
The zone's schedule covers the licence, the establishment card and visa processing, billed separately. The itemised figures appear in your quote, after scoping.
Suited activities
- Import and export
- Logistics and warehousing
- Industry and assembly
- Bonded warehousing
Banking
Solid. The port link and physical substance reassure institutions.

- Which jurisdiction holds for your case — and which would not.
- What it truly costs in year one, and the year after.
- What can make it fail, and at which point it happens.
Free, no commitment · Monday to Saturday, 9am to 1am Central European time — that is until 7pm in New York. French and English.
