Business Consulting in the UAE for Vietnamese nationals

Management, strategy, HR, marketing or operations consulting for corporate clients

In our experience, meydan Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. From day one, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, Meydan Free Zone deserves a close look for its Dubai address and straightforward renewal process. GoldenKey has Vietnamese clients from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, and our consultants understand the paperwork granted in Vietnam and how to attest them for the UAE. Put simply, consulting is the most common professional licence in the UAE. One licence can usually list several consulting sub-activities, and you can invoice clients worldwide from day one.

Why Meydan Free Zone

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. Popular activities in Meydan Free Zone include consultancy, trading, technology, marketing and professional services, and most of them can be combined on a single licence.
