Al Mazunah Free Zone allows registration of Free Zone Establishments (FZE — single shareholder), Free Zone Companies (FZCO — 2+ shareholders), and branches of foreign companies. All entity types can be 100% foreign-owned with no local sponsor or Omani partner required. The zone particularly encourages trading, re-export, and distribution companies.

Al Mazunah Free Zone offers the fastest company registration timeline in Oman — typically 7–10 working days from document submission to license issuance with EnterSlice's streamlined process. Bank account opening adds a further 5–10 days. This rapid setup makes Al Mazunah ideal for businesses that need to begin operations quickly.

The minimum share capital for an Al Mazunah Free Zone company is approximately OMR 3,000 (around USD 7,800) — the lowest capital requirement of any Oman free zone. This makes Al Mazunah particularly accessible for SMEs, start-ups, and trading companies. EnterSlice will advise on the optimal capital structure for your specific business activity.

Al Mazunah Free Zone companies can import goods duty-free from any country, store them in bonded warehouses, repackage or relabel them if required, and re-export to regional markets — particularly Yemen, East Africa, and other Arabian Peninsula destinations — without paying any customs duties. This makes Al Mazunah one of the most cost-efficient re-export hubs in the region.

Free zone companies in Al Mazunah primarily operate for re-export and within the zone. To sell goods to the Omani domestic market, customs duties and applicable taxes apply as the goods cross into the mainland. Many clients use a separate mainland company or licensed distributor for domestic sales, while keeping the free zone entity for international and re-export trade. EnterSlice can help structure both entities optimally.

Al Mazunah Free Zone companies enjoy 0% corporate income tax for 25 years (renewable), 0% personal income tax, 0% customs duty on all imports and re-exports within the zone, and exemption from withholding tax on dividends, interest, and royalties. Oman's 5% VAT may apply to certain domestic transactions — our tax team provides full compliance advisory specifically tailored to Al Mazunah's trading and re-export operations.
