JAFZA Offshore Free Zone

JAFZA Offshore Company Formation – Establish Your Global Business in Dubai

JAFZA Offshore (Jebel Ali Free Zone Offshore) is one of the most trusted and prestigious offshore jurisdictions in the UAE. Established in 2003 and regulated by the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority, it provides international entrepreneurs, investors, and high-net-worth individuals with a reliable, tax-efficient, and globally recognized platform for managing cross-border businesses.

A JAFZA Offshore company is ideal for those who want to expand internationally, protect assets, or optimize tax structures while maintaining privacy and credibility. Unlike local or free zone entities, offshore companies are designed for international operations, holding investments, or managing wealth, without engaging in direct trade within the UAE market.

What Makes a JAFZA Offshore Company Unique?

• Holding shares in local and international companies
• International trading and contracting
• Asset protection and estate planning
• Wealth management and inheritance structuring
• Ownership of Dubai freehold real estate (in approved areas)
• Intellectual property and licensing management

This makes JAFZA Offshore particularly attractive for global investors, family offices, and corporations seeking a secure, transparent, and tax-free jurisdiction.

Visa & Residency Rules

A JAFZA Offshore license does not provide residency visas. It is purely for international business, asset holding, and wealth management. If a visa is required, investors usually combine an offshore company with a free zone or mainland company in Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE.

Office Requirements

There is no mandatory office space requirement for JAFZA Offshore companies. The registered address is provided by the Authority, making it a cost-effective option for entrepreneurs who don’t need a physical presence in Dubai.

Banking for JAFZA Offshore

JAFZA Offshore companies can open corporate bank accounts both locally and internationally. Banks may require:

• A detailed business plan
• Proof of source of funds
• Shareholder background documents
