The General Authority for Investment and Free Zones launched an electronic platform for Golden Licence applications on 27 November 2023. The licence is a single approval for establishing, operating and managing a qualifying project, including the necessary building permits and allocation of state-owned property. The former record's unsupported claims of automatic tax holidays and customs exemptions have been removed.
