ANCFZ is a separate Ajman authority from Ajman Free Zone (AFZ). Its confirmed Zero Visa package is AED 4,888, with residence visas from 1 up to 7 max — not 10. Up to 10 activities can sit on the Zero Visa licence; activities are not visas. 1–3 visa package figures follow a published schedule and must be confirmed before you pay. Ask for a written setup plan.
The cheaper Ajman 0-visa start, with NuVentures packages and a 1–7 visa ladder. Here's where it fits, and where AFZ or another zone is the better call.

In short: ANCFZ is the NuVentures Centre (AED 4,888 zero visa, 1–7 visas). Ajman Free Zone (AFZ) is a different authority (AED 5,555, 4 visas max). SRTIP is close on price with a tech-park fit; RAKEZ is the industrial / warehousing step. See the free zones hub.
As of September 2026, the confirmed ANCFZ Zero Visa package is AED 4,888. That is not Ajman Free Zone (AFZ), which starts from AED 5,555. Ask for an itemised plan before you pay — the headline is a package start, not a year-one all-in.
Typically 100% ownership, an Ajman flexi address, company documents, and up to 10 activities on the Zero Visa licence (per ancfz.ae). Activities are not visas. A zero-visa package does not include an establishment card or residence visas until you upgrade.
Published schedule figures (confirm before you pay): AED 10,800 (1 visa), AED 16,200 (2), AED 20,700 (3). 4–7 visa packages are on quote — we do not invent those prices. There is no 10-visa ANCFZ row. Government medicals and Emirates ID can still sit on top.
Yes. ANCFZ is a free zone, so you keep 100% foreign ownership for permitted activities — no local partner or sponsor required.
Not directly. You would sell to the mainland through a local distributor, or add a dual / mainland licence. Confirm the path for your activity before you rely on onshore revenue.
Licence issuance is typically a few working days (about 3–5) once documents are complete. Visa stamping and banking take longer and are not the same clock.
No. ANCFZ is Ajman NuVentures Centre Free Zone (ancfz.ae). AFZ is Ajman Free Zone (afz.gov.ae) — Zero Visa AED 5,555, visas up to 4. Mixing the two is how founders get the wrong price and the wrong visa cap.
