As we tell every client, meydan Free Zone combines Dubai address with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time entrepreneurs and established groups. A Meydan Free Zone company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. From day one, turkish nationals are a growing community of traders, contractors and restaurateurs, especially in Dubai, so the Meydan Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Turkish applications every day and process them without hesitation. The most common businesses Turkish nationals open through GoldenKey are in construction, textiles and garments, food and beverage and furniture, although Meydan Free Zone supports almost any activity.
Why Meydan Free Zone
In our experience, one of the reasons we recommend Meydan Free Zone is its Dubai address, which matters more than most business owners realise once the business is running. Importantly, meydan Free Zone is located in Meydan, Dubai — 10 minutes from DIFC and Downtown Dubai, and the registrar's processing time for a standard file is around 5 business days.
