Free zone or mainland
- Ajman Free Zone lists this activity; check IFZA directly if you need a Dubai free-zone address on the licence.
- Dubai mainland under DET licenses onshore operation, but it expects Ejari-registered premises and runs longer than a free-zone desk package. A free-zone company reaches mainland clients through a distributor, DET's free-zone operating permit or branch, or a mainland licence; the activity and where the work is performed decide which.
- Ajman Free Zone allows this activity only on warehouse or land, so a virtual-office package will not carry it.
What the authority says
