A JAFZA offshore company is a legally recognized corporate entity registered in Dubai but designed for conducting business activities outside the UAE.
Unlike standard free zone or mainland companies, JAFZA offshore companies do not require a business license for trading within the Emirates. Instead, they are issued a Certificate of Incorporation, which empowers them to:
Own and manage property in designated areas of Dubai
Hold shares in UAE free zone companies or Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
Manage investments and assets globally
Conduct international trading operations seamlessly
However, it’s important to note that shareholders and directors of a JAFZA offshore company are not eligible for UAE residency visas. These entities are tailored for entrepreneurs who want to operate internationally while maintaining a prestigious UAE base for their operations and investments.
