How much does Meydan Free Zone cost with 1 visa in 2026?

What the AED 24,450 package covers

AED 24,450 buys the whole first year of a Meydan Free Zone company with one residence visa: trade licence, all government and authority charges, Formenzo's setup work, and the complete visa block — entry permit, medical test, Emirates ID and passport stamping. It is the most expensive one-visa package among the eight zones with published tiers, and buyers are paying specifically for the Dubai licence and the Meydan name.

Who picks this option

Meydan tends to attract founders for whom the Dubai address earns its premium: agency owners pitching Dubai-based clients face to face, traders whose banks and suppliers read the licence before the balance sheet, and relocating professionals who plan to live and work in the city itself.

Two things founders ask

What does each additional visa add? AED 9,950 per person — the table steps evenly from AED 24,450 to AED 34,400 and then AED 44,350.

Is there a cheaper Dubai zone? Yes: IFZA's one-visa package is AED 17,615, a saving of AED 6,835. The Meydan vs IFZA comparison sets the two side by side.
