Fujairah's media and creative free zone, built for media, marketing, consultancy and digital businesses that can operate from a flexi-desk.
Creative City Fujairah is a free zone for media, marketing and creative enterprises. It allows several business activities on a single licence, keeps paperwork to a minimum and offers flexible visa options.
It is set up for service and creative work rather than physical trading, which makes it a natural fit for agencies, consultants, content businesses and freelancers. We help you choose the right package and activities and manage the application through to licence.
Why open your business in Fujairah Creative City.
Made for creative work
Media, marketing, design, publishing, events and consultancy activities, in a zone built around them.
Several activities on one licence
Combine related services under one company rather than setting up several.
Minimal paperwork
A streamlined setup with dedicated administrative support.
Flexible visa options
Packages range from no visa quota to multi-visa options as your team grows.
Flexi-desk included
Packages include a flexi-desk, so renting a separate office is optional.
Freelancer permits
An option for individuals working in creative and digital fields on their own.
Licences and structure
The zone focuses on professional, media and creative service activities, with freelancer permits available for individuals. It is not set up for physical trading of goods.
Some activities, such as broadcasting, need pre-approval from the free zone or the media regulator. We identify these at the start so the application goes in complete.
Documents you will need
The typical starting list is below. The authority may ask for more depending on your activity, and we tell you exactly what applies before you gather anything.
- Passport copies for every shareholder and manager
- A recent passport-size photograph of each
- Proof of residential address
- Current UAE visa page or Emirates ID, if you are already in the UAE
- For a corporate shareholder: certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles, and a board resolution approving the new company
Each free zone sets its own rules, activity lists and visa quotas, and these change from time to time. We confirm the current position with the authority before you commit to anything.
