Residency Visa with Meydan Free Zone
Start Your UAE Residency Journey with mResidency
If you are planning to live in Dubai, operate your business from the UAE, or relocate as an investor, founder, or employee, securing your UAE residency visa is the step that unlocks everything that follows.
Your residency status is what connects you to the legal, medical, and identity systems that allow you to function fully inside the country. Under UAE government rules, residence visa applicants aged 18 and above must undergo a medical fitness test, pass security checks, and apply for an Emirates ID as part of the process.
With mResidency by Meydan Free Zone, applicants sponsored through a Meydan Free Zone company can move through these mandatory stages in one coordinated journey, with support across the residency process from visa initiation to medical testing, Emirates ID, health insurance guidance, and dependent visa support.
