Meydan Free Zone Setup, Dubai, UAE
Meydan Free Zone can issue a licence in as little as 60 minutes with its Fawri option, from a database of over 2,500 business activities. Here's how it works.
Free, no-obligation consultation on activity and licence tier.
Meydan Free Zone offers a fast-track "Fawri" licence option that can issue in as little as 60 minutes for eligible activities, alongside regular processing that takes a few working days. Meydan's own database lists over 2,500 business activities, each with a group, code and applicable third-party approval and risk rating, picking the right one matters more than which speed tier you choose.

With over 2,500 listed business activities, picking the right one from Meydan's own activity database matters more for your setup than which speed tier you choose.
