Ajman Media City Free Zone: real costs, licences and review
One of the lowest-priced licences in the UAE, built for simple freelance set-ups.
Price verified. Taken from AMCFZ's own published material on 3 October 2026. Free zone pricing can change without notice; we confirm in writing before any commitment.
Our view
Ajman Media City competes at the absolute bottom of the market and frequently wins on headline price. For a freelancer who needs an entity and nothing else, it works.
What to know before choosing: banking is the main consideration. Several UAE banks will not open an account for an Ajman Media City company, so you may end up with a digital-only or offshore banking solution. If a corporate bank account is essential to your business, a Dubai zone such as Meydan is a better fit.
