Event Management in the UAE for Finns

Why Meydan Free Zone

One of the reasons we recommend Meydan Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running. 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.

How Meydan Free Zone works with GoldenKey

For opening an event management company in the UAE as a Finnish founder, GoldenKey completes this stage with you on WhatsApp or by email.

2. 
   Step 2

   Name reservation and initial approval

3. 
   Step 3

   Document submission and payment

   You sign the application and memorandum, we file the attested paperwork with Meydan Free Zone and the authority's licence fee is paid. Nothing is submitted for opening an event management company in the UAE as a Finnish founder until you have reviewed and approved it.

   Step 4

   Licence issued and next steps
