Dubai launches ‘One Freezone Passport’ for unified licensing:

The Dubai Free Zones Council (DFZC) has introduced a new initiative called the ‘One Freezone Passport,’ which allows businesses licensed in one free zone to expand operations into other free zones within the emirate without the need for additional licences. Luxury brand Louis Vuitton has become the first multinational to benefit from this scheme, successfully opening a warehouse in Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) and setting up a corporate office at One Za’abeel in the DWTC Free Zone. The entire licensing process was completed in just five days. The scheme aims to simplify regulatory procedures, encourage cross-zone business expansion, and boost Dubai’s global competitiveness.
