VERIFIED 2026 · SCENARIO COMPARISON · FORMENZO
Which free zone is best in Dubai?
There is no single best free zone — it depends on budget and activity. For the lowest published scenario cost in Dubai, IFZA wins (AED 17,615 with one visa). For prestige and a Dubai address, Meydan (AED 24,450 with one visa). For top-tier commodities and finance credibility, DMCC (from AED 35,484, licence only). All three allow 100% foreign ownership and 0% personal income tax.
Every figure here is the published 2026 scenario — government/authority fee, our setup service and the residence-visa block — confirmed in writing, with no sales call. See the full Cost Index or the open price dataset (CC-BY).
