About Ajman Media City Free Zone
Ajman Media City Free Zone (AMCFZ), created in 2018, to make the emirate of Ajman an international business hub in line with the ‘Ajman 2021’ plan. The plan includes 21 indices and strategic objectives divided into three key pillars – a better place to live, excellent government and green economy.
The core focus of the free zone, as its name indicates, is the creative sector. Thanks to the success of Dubai Media City and other media-specific zones across the UAE, the government of Ajman aspires to attract established and new age media firms from across the region and beyond. Early on, it has signed on agreements with regional powerhouses in India as well as the Greater Middle East.
The Basics
Ajman Media City Free Zone is one of the few jurisdictions that can issue a license within 24 hours. It aspires to be the most customer-centric and flexible free zone in the United Arab Emirates. Its social media influencer package starts at a mere AED 2500, making it the most cost-effective package in the country.
The free zone offers a variety of options for small and medium enterprises, including a commercial activities package (up to five activities for import and export), a service activities package (up to five activities for service providers), and multiple options for commercial space.
AMCFZ has an office in Dubai so that you don’t have to make unnecessary trips to Ajman. You can handle all your administrative services at your convenience.
