Ajman Media City Free Zone

A Ajman Media City Free Zone (AMCFZ) license costs AED 8,799 all-in for the zero-visa package in 2026 — that includes government license fee, Establishment Card, and Formenzo's all-inclusive service fee. Add one investor visa (entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, stamping) and the total becomes AED 12,489.

AMCFZ issues the trade license in 5 business days after initial approval (2 days). A residency visa adds approximately 11 more days. Opening a UAE corporate bank account adds 12 days on top. Total from signup to funded UAE IBAN: about 28 days.

AMCFZ default package includes 0 visas, and the maximum allowed per license is 5. Each additional investor or employment visa costs approximately AED 3,000 including entry permit, medical, Emirates ID, and stamping.

AMCFZ companies primarily bank with RAKBANK, Mashreq NeoBiz, WIO. Formenzo coordinates the KYC process and typical time from license issuance to funded account is 23 days. Bank approval rates vary by nationality; we pre-match you to the right bank before filing.

AMCFZ permits approximately 200 business activities. It is best suited for content creator, freelance, media, marketing. Activities not allowed include restaurant, industrial, trading — these require a UAE Mainland license.

Yes — AMCFZ formation is fully remote through Formenzo. We handle document collection, trade name reservation, MOA drafting, and submission without a UAE visit. You only come to the UAE for one day to complete the medical fitness test and Emirates ID biometrics — and only if you want a residency visa. The trade license itself can be issued with zero travel.

Yes. AMCFZ is a recognized UAE Free Zone, so companies qualifying as a Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) can maintain a 0% Corporate Tax rate on qualifying income.
