Offshore Company Registration in Jebel Ali Dubai
Established in 1985, Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) covers 48 square kilometres and is one of the largest and fastest-growing free zones in the UAE. It hosts more than 6,400 companies, including over 120 Fortune Global 500 enterprises. Jebel Ali is a leading location for offshore company registration in Dubai, offering strong infrastructure, a strategic position between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and a distinguished client base.
JAFZA offshore companies do not maintain a physical presence in the UAE; they are registered there only. As a result, shareholders are not eligible for resident visas. These companies receive a certificate of incorporation rather than a business license, as they are not permitted to conduct business within the Emirates.
Registering an offshore company in Jebel Ali Free Zone is a legitimate business activity. This structure facilitates business operations throughout the Middle East, excluding the UAE. Offshore companies may own property, either directly or through UAE entities, in designated areas of Dubai. Additional benefits include zero taxation and full repatriation of profits.
