Business Consulting in the UAE for Thai nationals

Why Meydan Free Zone

For most clients, 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. 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.

How Meydan Free Zone works with GoldenKey

1. 
   Step 1

   Consultation and activity selection

   Just as important, in the first call we check that Meydan Free Zone lists your activity, settle the licence type and match the visa package and office to what you actually need. For opening a consulting practice in the UAE as a Thai founder this step rarely needs your presence; scans and e-signatures are enough.

2. 
   Step 2

   Name reservation and initial approval

   We submit your preferred trade names to Meydan Free Zone and secure initial approval, normally within a day or two of submission.

3. 
   Step 3

   Document submission and payment

   In our experience, you sign the application and memorandum, we file the attested paperwork with Meydan Free Zone and the authority's licence fee is paid. We keep a written record of this step so your file for opening a consulting practice in the UAE as a Thai founder is audit-ready.

4. 
   Step 4

   Licence issued and next steps

   Meydan Free Zone issues the licence, incorporation certificate and lease; from there we open the establishment card, process visas and arrange your bank introduction.

Why the UAE

The UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, so so many entrepreneurs choose it as a base for opening a consulting practice in the UAE as a Thai founder. Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so opening a consulting practice in the UAE as a Thai founder no longer requires a local partner.

Why GoldenKey

Just as important, our quotations for opening a consulting practice in the UAE as a Thai founder list every government fee and our service fee on one page, in writing, ahead of payment anything. In short, because GoldenKey works with the licensing authority, the immigration department and the banks every single week, we know exactly which papers each of them will ask for on a Meydan Free Zone file. In our experience, you deal with one named case manager from the first call until your Meydan Free Zone licence, visa and bank introduction are complete, and that consultant answers your WhatsApp messages personally.
