Event Management in the UAE for Romanians

Why Meydan Free Zone

As a rule, 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. Unlike some zones, Meydan Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued.

Why the UAE

Importantly, since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so opening an event management company in the UAE as a Romanian founder no longer requires a local partner. To be clear, residence visas for owners and families come with the company, which makes opening an event management company in the UAE as a Romanian founder a route to relocation as well as a business decision.
