JAFZA offshore companies are used for international trading, asset holding, real estate ownership, and wealth management. Unlike JAFZA FZE/FZCO entities, they have no local premises and no UAE visa obligations — making JAFZA offshore liquidation significantly simpler than closing a JAFZA free zone company. Aabi acts as your approved liquidator and registered agent for the closure, typically completing the process in 5–8 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions — JAFZA Offshore Liquidation
What is the difference between JAFZA offshore and JAFZA FZE liquidation?
JAFZA offshore dissolution is considerably simpler and faster. Offshore companies have no employees, no UAE premises, and no trade licence. The documentation is lighter and the process typically completes in 5–8 weeks, while a JAFZA FZE with leased premises must also observe JAFZA's lease notice period.
Can I close my JAFZA offshore company without visiting the UAE?
Yes. The process is entirely manageable remotely. Shareholders sign the dissolution resolution and Aabi handles all JAFZA submissions and the return of original documents through our team.
