Dubai continues to lead the region in creating a seamless and investor friendly business environment. The launch of the One Free Zone Passport allows companies to operate across multiple free zones without additional licences or complex administrative procedures.
What the One Free Zone Passport Is
The initiative, launched by the Dubai Free Zones Council, allows companies registered in one participating zone to expand operations in others using the same business identity. This reduces duplication, speeds up setup, and promotes collaboration.
Why It Matters
The program supports expansion, reduces cost, and encourages workforce mobility. Employees can work across zones without new visa applications, and businesses can access broader networks of partners and clients.
Who Can Benefit
Companies licensed in participating zones such as DMCC, DAFZ, DIFC, and Dubai South can apply to join. The scheme benefits service, logistics, and technology firms that operate across multiple clients and sectors.
The Impact on Dubai’s Business Ecosystem
The initiative strengthens Dubai’s position as a unified global hub for business and innovation. It creates a flexible, interconnected environment that supports growth and long term competitiveness.
