View all FAQsWhat is the difference between an FZE and an FZCO in Meydan Free Zone?
An FZE has one shareholder and an FZCO has two or more. Both offer limited liability and 100% foreign ownership, and the fees in Meydan Free Zone are as a rule the same.
How long does the Meydan Free Zone licence take?
Once your documents are complete, the 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 a Vietnamese citizen own 100% of a company in Meydan Free Zone?
Yes, it can. Vietnamese nationals can own the full share capital of a Meydan Free Zone company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
How long does the process take for Vietnamese applicants?
Just as important, processing for Vietnamese nationals follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Vietnam that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
