What is JAFZA Approval?

JAFZA approval is a mandatory clearance for businesses and properties operating in the Jebel Ali Free Zone. It ensures that your business setup, fit-out, or construction project meets all legal and safety standards in Dubai. Whether you’re setting up an office, warehouse, or retail outlet, obtaining JAFZA approval is the first step to operating legally and efficiently in the free zone.

Why Do You Need JAFZA Approval?

Getting JAFZA approval is necessary for compliance, safety, and smooth operations. Without it, businesses risk fines, delays, or even shutdowns. From warehouses to office spaces, retail outlets, restaurants, and villa modifications, every project in JAFZA requires approval to ensure it adheres to regulatory standards.

Office and Commercial Approvals: Legal clearance for offices and business premises.

Retail and Restaurant Approvals: Includes compliance for restaurants, retail outlets, and showrooms.
Villa Modification Approvals: Covers renovations and structural modifications under JAFZA regulations.

Step-by-Step JAFZA Approval Process

Many documents and details of your business setup are required to obtain JAFZA approval. While the process may seem lengthy, it ensures that only the right and eligible people get the approval. First of all, you need to have an application form for the business setup in JAFZA. A letter of intent that clearly states the kind of setup you are seeking in JAFZA approval is also required. A copy of the passport and CV of the manager, as well as all the shareholders, is also required. You also require NOC from sponsors and a bank reference letter for each shareholder. You may also require an approval letter from the third authority in some cases.
