Meydan Free Zone sits inside Dubai rather than on its outskirts, which is why it suits consultants, agencies and e-commerce sellers who need a Dubai address and clients who expect to meet in the city. Licences are issued without a physical office requirement, so a flexi-desk arrangement satisfies the lease condition. Through Worldwide Formations a zero-visa Meydan licence starts at AED 5,275 covering up to ten activities, or AED 8,450 with an investor visa, medical and Emirates ID included. You can price a Meydan licence against other options with our UAE business setup cost calculator.

Yes. UAE banks open accounts for Meydan companies, and a Dubai-based free zone address helps. Approval depends on your activity, shareholder nationality and expected turnover rather than on the zone alone. We prepare the bank file and introduce you, and we will tell you honestly if your profile is likely to face additional questions.
The licence itself is typically issued within a few working days once your documents and trade name are approved. If you need a residence visa, allow two to four weeks in total, because the entry permit, medical test, Emirates ID and visa stamping run on fixed government timelines that cannot be shortened.
Not for the licence. Company registration can be completed remotely with certified documents. You do need to be in the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics if you are taking a residence visa, but that is a single short trip rather than an extended stay.
No. Meydan issues licences against a flexi-desk or co-working arrangement, which is included in both of our packages. You can upgrade to a dedicated office later if headcount requires it.
Those are two of its most common use cases. Meydan permits a broad range of professional and trading activities, and its location inside Dubai matters if your clients expect to meet you in the city rather than in an outlying zone.
Through Worldwide Formations, AED 5,275 for a zero-visa licence covering up to ten activities, or AED 8,450 including one investor visa, medical and Emirates ID. Meydan's own government fees vary by activity, and we confirm your exact total before you commit to anything.
