Fujairah Free Zones
Fujairah Free Zone and Creative City offer business licensing options, while Fujairah Oil Industry Zone (FOIZ) serves a specialised energy ecosystem. Confirm the appropriate authority, permitted activity and facilities for your project.
Licence, facility, immigration and renewal costs vary by authority and application. Ask for an itemised quotation instead of assuming a common price across zones. The Fujairah Free Zone Authority lists company setup documents and facilities; Creative City's licensing rules describe its own conditions.

Fujairah Free Zone activity list: what can you do?
Fujairah Government lists trading and general trading, warehousing and manufacturing licence categories for Fujairah Free Zone. Trading covers agreed specified goods; warehousing and manufacturing depend on facilities and approvals. See the government licence categories.
These categories are not a complete activity list. Ask Fujairah Free Zone Authority to confirm the exact activity name and code, whether your products or services are permitted, and whether you need an external approval or a particular facility. Creative City and FOIZ have separate authorities and activity requirements; do not assume the same list applies to all three.
