We prepare the Meydan Free Zone application, reserve your company name and submit shareholder KYC documents.
Pre-approval & payment
Once the authority gives initial approval, we arrange payment of the licence, registration and facility fees.
Company documents
The authority issues the licence, certificate of incorporation, share certificates and the MOA/AOA, which are usually signed digitally.
Establishment card & visas
We open the immigration file, then handle entry permits, medicals, Emirates ID and residence visas for owners and staff.
Bank account & compliance
We introduce you to suitable banks and set you up for VAT, corporate tax and annual renewal reminders.
Documents usually required
- Passport copy of each shareholder and director (valid for at least 6 months)
- Recent passport-size photograph with a white background
- Current UAE visa or entry stamp copy (for residents and visitors in the UAE)
- Emirates ID copy (UAE residents)
- Home-country address proof (utility bill or bank statement)
