About Meydan Free Zone
Why Meydan Free Zone
Day to day, meydan Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. A Meydan Free Zone company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is granted. To be clear, romanians are a large community working in hospitality, aviation, construction and IT, so the Meydan Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Romanian applications every day and process them without hesitation. The most common businesses Romanians open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, hospitality, construction and aviation, although Meydan Free Zone supports almost any activity.
Meydan Free Zone is located in Meydan, Dubai — 10 minutes from DIFC and Downtown Dubai, and the licensing authority's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days. In our experience, 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. For Romanians, the practical advantages of Meydan Free Zone are the ease of travel between Romania and the UAE, English is widely spoken by Romanian professionals, and a banking system that processes Romanian leu (RON) transfers daily.
