The following example is a composite of real Ras Al Khaimah files handled by GoldenKey for Croatian customers in travel & tourism agency; details have been generalised.
The starting point
A Croatian entrepreneur from Zagreb wanted to launch a travel agency serving customers in the UAE and Croatia. The priorities were a credible licence, a residence visa and a business bank account within a realistic budget.
Why Ras Al Khaimah
Importantly, after comparing options, Ras Al Khaimah was chosen for its low licence and rent costs and because travel & tourism agency is a well-established activity there. GoldenKey confirmed the activity code and the visa package in the first consultation.
The process
GoldenKey reserved the trade name, obtained initial approval and submitted attested documents from Croatia. The licence was issued in line with the usual Ras Al Khaimah timeline, followed by the establishment card, investor visa, medical test and Emirates ID.
Banking and tax
Importantly, with the licence and visa in hand, GoldenKey prepared the bank file and introduced the client to a bank suited to travel & tourism agency. Corporate tax registration was completed within the FTA deadline and VAT registration was timed to the expected turnover.
The outcome
In short, the business was invoicing customers within weeks of the first call, with a UAE address, a resident founder and a compliance calendar managed by GoldenKey. The same path is available to any Croatian founder considering travel & tourism agency in Ras Al Khaimah.
