MEYDAN via Shuraa — Turkish Crypto Traders
Shuraa is a Dubai-based business setup consultancy providing white-glove MEYDAN Free Zone formation with a single point of contact. Turkish crypto traders who prefer talking to one advisor through the entire process (license, visa, VARA guidance, banking) pick Shuraa; the direct MEYDAN portal is cheaper but requires more DIY.
Under Federal Decree-Law 47/2022, UAE CT applies 9% above AED 375,000 taxable income. Free Zone Person meeting substance retains 0% on qualifying income; crypto activities require VARA licensing separately.
Turkish KVK Article 3 risk applies unless effective management genuinely moves to UAE.
