JAFZA Offshore
The JAFZA Offshore Company was introduced in 2003 in accordance with the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority Offshore Companies Regulations of 2003, and superseded by the Offshore Companies Regulations of 2018, which is the governing legislative framework for the formation and regulation of JAFZA Offshore Companies.
