Meydan Free Zone Business Licence
Meydan Free Zone sells a remote, passport-led Dubai licence — published from about AED 12,500, with a Fawri instant licence advertised under an hour from about AED 15,000. Evergreen. Start at meydanfz.ae and get their quote, not a reseller’s. This is formation. There is no programme. Fine for a solo operator who needs a UAE invoice. Weak if your bank or enterprise buyer wants DIFC or DMCC. “Instant” is the licence step, not your Emirates ID.
DESK TAKE
The default cheap remote licence on this board. Use it when that is what you need. Do not call yourself a Meydan-backed startup.

QUESTIONS
Is Fawri really under 60 minutes?
That is their published claim for the licence issuance step. KYC and visas are extra time.
Do I need a desk?
Flexi-desk is part of the usual package. You are not getting a campus like in5.
