Meydan Free Zone for Kazakh Citizens
Setting up in Meydan Free Zone with a Kazakhstan passport: eligibility, the document chain from Almaty, banking notes and real pricing from AED 12,500.
What changes with the passport — and what doesn't
Eligibility doesn't: Kazakh founders own 100% at Meydan Free Zone, sponsor their own residency, and face the same tariff — from AED 12,500, issuing in ~3–5 working days.
What the passport does shape is the file: documents from Kazakhstan legalise through the embassy chain serving Almaty, and bank onboarding leans on a source-of-funds narrative written for compliance. Mining trade desks and family offices favour AIFC–ADGM pairings — precedent that helps your file read as familiar.
Zone-side, the differentiator stands: meydan issues a dubai address with fully remote incorporation and e-signature.
Day by day, honestly
Week one belongs to decisions and documents: activity wording, name reservation and the KYC pack. The licence itself issues in roughly 5–7 working days at Meydan Free Zone once the file is complete — completeness, not the authority, is the usual variable.
One scheduling rule: never let the tenancy, the visa medical and the bank interview share the same week. Sequenced, they glide; stacked, they collide.
