JAFZA Offshore Company Formation in Dubai | Sohi Services
The Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), established in 1985 by the Government of Dubai, spans over 100 square kilometers and is strategically located around the world’s largest man-made port. Traditionally, companies operating within JAFZA were required to maintain a physical presence within the zone.
However, the landscape changed with the introduction of JAFZA Offshore Company Regulations in 2003, providing a structured legal framework for offshore business setup in Dubai. These regulations allow both individuals and corporate entities to incorporate non-resident companies under JAFZA’s jurisdiction
