How the process works

  1. Package & activity planning

    We compare Meydan Free Zone licence packages by activity, number of visas and office type, and recommend the most cost-effective option.

  2. Application & name reservation

    We prepare the Meydan Free Zone application, reserve your company name and submit shareholder KYC documents.

  3. Pre-approval & payment

    Once the authority gives initial approval, we arrange payment of the licence, registration and facility fees.

  4. Company documents

    The authority issues the licence, certificate of incorporation, share certificates and the MOA/AOA, which are usually signed digitally.

  5. Establishment card & visas

    We open the immigration file, then handle entry permits, medicals, Emirates ID and residence visas for owners and staff.

  6. 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)
  • Short business profile or CV, where the free zone requests it
  • Corporate shareholders: attested incorporation documents and board resolution

Requirements can vary by authority, nationality and activity. We confirm the exact list for your case before anything is submitted.

Meydan Free Zone: common questions

Can I set up in Meydan remotely?

Yes. Meydan's process is digital, so the licence can be issued without visiting. Visa applicants must visit for medical and biometrics.

Does Meydan offer a no-visa licence?

Yes. Licence-only packages are available for founders who do not need residence visas yet.
