SECTION A - INTRODUCTION 

1. INTRODUCTORY NOTE BY THE CHAIRMAN OF JAFZA 

This is the revised ninth edition of the Free Zone Rules, which hereby repeals the eighth edition of 2020. This Ninth edition is a revised edition and has been redrafted with the following, amongst other, objectives: 

a. to update the Free Zone Rules to reflect the prevailing rules and procedures;

b. to bring conceptual, legal and procedural clarity; and 

c. to re-arrange the Free Zone Rules in order to have the substantive rules (Section B) separate from the procedural requirements (Section C).

 

These Free Zone Rules set out guidelines and requirements for establishing and operating entities in the Free Zone (except for an entity set up in the offshore jurisdiction of the Free Zone). 

 

These Free Zone Rules are also available in electronic format on the Free Zone website: www.jafza.ae
