Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about Meydan Free Zone. Anything else — ask GK AI or message us.
View all FAQsHow many visas can I get with a Meydan Free Zone licence?
Put simply, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. Meydan Free Zone packages typically 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 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 customers for most applicants, 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.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in Meydan Free Zone?
To be clear, most Meydan Free Zone licences can be issued remotely with scanned paperwork and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residence visa is completed.
How long does the process take for Turkish applicants?
In our experience, processing for Turkish nationals follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Türkiye that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Türkiye and the UAE?
Yes, it can. The UAE and Türkiye 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.
