What is the Fawri license and how does it work?
The Fawri license is Meydan Free Zone's offering that provides company licenses in under 60 minutes. It's a fully digital process available for pre-approved business activities. To qualify, you must have a valid Emirates ID. The system provides instant preliminary approval, and the official license is issued digitally immediately after payment confirmation.

Speed: Fawri takes 60 minutes vs. Regular taking a few days. Activities: Fawri offers 1,800+ pre-approved activities vs. Regular's 2,500+ including complex sectors. Flexibility: Fawri suits standard setups, Regular allows combining 3+ activity groups. Requirements: Fawri requires an Emirates ID, Regular has more flexible documentation.
Do I need a physical office in Meydan Free Zone?
No, Meydan Free Zone does not require a physical office lease. All packages include either a virtual office address or access to a flexi-desk in the Meydan business center, significantly reducing setup and operational costs.
How many visas can I get with a Meydan license?
Standard packages include 1–2 investor/employee visas. Additional visas can be applied for as your business grows, typically up to 6 for standard licenses, with more possible for established businesses. Visa processing is streamlined through Meydan Plus, with typical processing times of 2–3 weeks.
What is the corporate tax status for Meydan companies?
Meydan Free Zone companies qualify as Qualified Free Zone Persons under UAE corporate tax law: 0% corporate tax on qualifying income, with the 9% standard rate applying only to non-qualifying income, and no personal income tax for shareholders or employees. To maintain this status, companies must meet certain substance requirements and generally avoid conducting business with the UAE mainland (except through a distributor).
Can I start a business in Meydan if I'm currently employed in Dubai?
Yes. Unlike some other jurisdictions, Meydan does not require a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your current employer for the license application. That said, check your employment contract for any restrictions on outside business activities.
What makes Meydan different from other Dubai free zones?
Unmatched speed (60-minute Fawri licensing, the fastest in the UAE), a 100% digital process end-to-end, unique activity-combining flexibility, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, no physical office requirement, and a founder-friendly approach — particularly ideal for tech startups, digital services, consulting firms, and e-commerce businesses.
