Event Management in the UAE for Romanians

Planning and delivering corporate events, exhibitions, weddings and conferences

Setting up a company in Meydan Free Zone gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Put simply, meydan Free Zone is Dubai's entrepreneurial free zone at the iconic Meydan racecourse, and it has become one of the most practical choices for founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. Just as important, event Management in Meydan Free Zone means planning and delivering corporate events, exhibitions, weddings and conferences, and it is licensed as a professional activity. On the ground, 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.

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.
