About Meydan Free Zone
Why Meydan Free Zone
In our experience, meydan Free Zone combines Dubai address with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, so it suits both first-time entrepreneurs and established groups. In short, setting up a company in Meydan Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Oman and the UAE share a land border and extensive trade, with many Omani businesses using Dubai for international reach, which gives Omani entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Meydan Free Zone licence is issued. Just as important, payments between Oman and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Omani rial (OMR) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Omani business profiles.
Meydan Free Zone is located in Meydan, Dubai — 10 minutes from DIFC and Downtown Dubai, and the issuing authority's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days. Put simply, 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. GoldenKey has prepared Meydan Free Zone files for Omani clients in trading, logistics, tourism and real estate, which means we know which Oman paperwork need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
