Meydan FAQ

Is Meydan a real Dubai address?

Yes — your registered address is in Nad Al Sheba, Dubai, at the Meydan complex. Banks, suppliers and clients recognise it as a legitimate Dubai address.

Can I really skip the physical office?

Yes. Meydan includes a virtual office (smart desk / business centre) in your license. You don’t need to rent a physical workspace to keep your Free Zone license active.

How long does Meydan setup take?

3-5 working days for the license. Add 10-15 working days for visa stamping. Whole package: 1-2 weeks.

Is Meydan a Designated Free Zone for QFZP?

Meydan companies are eligible for QFZP if they meet qualifying activity, substance and audit requirements. Note: holding companies and pure service consulting can qualify on different routes; we assess each case via our accounting team.
