Meydan frequently asked questions

How much is a Meydan Free Zone licence?

Licences start around AED 12,500 per year for zero-visa packages, with visa-inclusive bundles from roughly AED 15,000 to AED 20,000. Instalment plans are available, and we confirm the full landed cost including establishment card before you commit.

Can I set up a Meydan company without visiting Dubai?

Yes. Meydan's process is fully digital, and incorporation can complete before you travel. You will need to be in the UAE for biometrics when you process your residence visa, and most banks want at least one in-person meeting.

Is Meydan Free Zone good for e-commerce?

Yes, it is one of the most popular zones for Amazon, Noon and Shopify sellers: e-commerce activities are explicit on the licence, marketplaces accept the paperwork, and payment-gateway onboarding is straightforward. We pair it with VAT registration when your turnover requires it.

Where is Meydan Free Zone located?

The registered address is at the Meydan Hotel and Racecourse district in Nad Al Sheba, about ten minutes from Downtown Dubai. Entry-level licences use the zone's business-centre address rather than a dedicated office, which keeps costs down.
