WhatsApp quoteDay to day, the following example is a composite of real Meydan Free Zone files handled by GoldenKey for Singaporean customers in recruitment & hr services; details have been generalised.
The starting point
A Singaporean entrepreneur from Singapore wanted to launch a recruitment agency serving customers in the UAE and Singapore. The priorities were a credible licence, a residency 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 recruitment & hr services 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 documents from Singapore. 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
Just as important, with the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to recruitment & hr services. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
The business was invoicing clients 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 Singaporean founder considering recruitment & hr services in Meydan Free Zone.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a double taxation agreement between Singapore and the UAE?
Yes. The UAE and Singapore 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.
Do Singaporeans need a UAE visa before applying for Meydan Free Zone?
Not in that case. You can apply for the licence from Singapore with scanned documents, and the investor residence visa is processed afterwards.
Can a Singaporean citizen own 100% of a company in Meydan Free Zone?
Yes. Singaporeans can own the full share capital of a Meydan Free Zone company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
