Dubai Media City (DMC) is the media cluster within the free zone regulated by the Dubai Development Authority (DDA). Its legal basis is Law No. 15 of 2014, issued on 27 October 2014, which superseded Law No. 1 of 2000 establishing the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone. Three forms of presence are available: a Free Zone Limited Liability Company (FZ-LLC), a branch of a foreign or UAE company, and a freelancer permit. The law fixes no single minimum share capital — the requirement is set by the licensed activity.
