About Meydan Free Zone
Why Meydan Free Zone
If you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, Meydan Free Zone deserves a close look for its Dubai address and straightforward renewal process. Meydan Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through Meydan Free Zone company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox.
For most clients, unlike some zones, Meydan Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. Meydan Free Zone licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date. One of the reasons we suggest Meydan Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most entrepreneurs realise once the business is running.

View all FAQsHow long does the Meydan Free Zone licence take?
In our experience, once your documents are complete, the issuing authority typically issues the licence within 5 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Can a Meydan Free Zone company do business on the UAE mainland?
A Meydan Free Zone company can sell to mainland customers through a mainland distributor, invoice services to mainland clients in most cases, and apply for a dual-licence arrangement where the emirate offers one. Direct retail or on-site contracting on the mainland needs a mainland licence.
Can I open a UAE bank account with a Meydan Free Zone company?
Yes, Meydan Free Zone companies open accounts with UAE banks every day. Approval depends on the bank's compliance review of your profile, business plan and documents, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
How many visas can I get with a Meydan Free Zone licence?
Visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. Meydan Free Zone packages normally start from a zero-visa option and scale to five or more visas with a physical office, and additional visas can be added later for the per-visa fee shown in our pricing.
Can I add more activities to my Meydan Free Zone licence later?
Yes — Meydan Free Zone allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few working days for a small authority fee.

Good to know
More about Meydan Free Zone
About the Free Zone Establishment (FZE)
The FZE is the go-to structure for solo founders in every major free zone and can later convert to a FZCO by adding shareholders.
Why the UAE
As we tell every client, since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) in Meydan Free Zone no longer requires a local partner. Importantly, the UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international customers and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) in Meydan Free Zone.
