## Cheapest evidenced route and first-year cost

The lowest published like-for-like 12-month package at each visa count, among the 2 free zones whose catalogue lists this activity. Each figure says who published it (the zone, a registered partner or Dubai Setup Index), with its source and the date it was checked.

| Visas | Cheapest evidenced route | First-year package | Source |
| :--- | :--- | ---: | :--- |
| No visa | [Ajman Media City Free Zone](https://dubaisetupindex.com/free-zones/ajman-media-city) (same activity name in its catalogue) | AED 4,999 | Official, checked 2026-10-09 |

A package price is not a full setup total, and what it includes varies by zone: check the zone page before you budget. A catalogue listing is what the authority publishes, not an eligibility decision.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I add more activities to a Announcer licence later?

Usually yes, as a licence amendment, subject to the authority's rules and any extra approval attached to the new line.

### Does this activity need third-party approval?

The catalogue rows we hold for this activity carry no prior-approval flag. Re-check the live authority catalogue before filing, since flags change.
