WhatsApp quoteThis illustrative scenario shows how a Romanian founder set up a printing and packaging company in Meydan Free Zone with GoldenKey; names and figures are representative of typical client journeys rather than a specific client.
The starting point
A Romanian entrepreneur from Bucharest wanted to launch a printing and packaging company serving customers in the UAE and Romania. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Meydan Free Zone
After comparing options, Meydan Free Zone was chosen for its Dubai address and because printing & packaging is a well-established activity there. GoldenKey confirmed the activity code and the visa package in the first consultation.
The process
GoldenKey reserved the trade name, obtained initial approval and submitted attested paperwork from Romania. The licence was issued in line with the usual Meydan Free Zone timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
With the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to printing & packaging. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
Put simply, the business was invoicing customers within weeks of the first call, with a UAE address, a resident founder and a compliance calendar managed by GoldenKey. The same path is available to any Romanian founder considering printing & packaging in Meydan Free Zone.

It can. Romanians can own the full share capital of a Meydan Free Zone company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Romanians need a UAE visa before applying for Meydan Free Zone?
No, it does not. You can apply for the licence from Romania with scanned documents, and the investor UAE residence visa is handled afterwards.

Yes, it can. The UAE and Romania have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
