FAQs

What is the process for getting a license in the Meydan free zone?

To obtain a license in the Meydan free zone, your company must submit an incorporation application directly to the authority or through an authorized corporate services partner like Arnifi.

What are the steps involved in getting a Meydan free zone license?

The setup steps include KYC verification, security and initial approval, trade name reservation, digital legal document signing, and final trade license issuance.

What is KYC and what documents are required?

KYC is a mandatory compliance requirement to verify shareholder identity documents, primarily requiring a valid passport copy completed through a secure digital verification link or online call.

What is initial and security approval?

Once your application is submitted, it undergoes background verification and security checks by immigration and regulatory bodies based on your selected business activities and shareholder profiles.
