GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through RAKEZ company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. Founders choose RAKEZ when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office.
Unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. On the ground, merger of RAK Free Trade Zone and RAK Investment Authority. The authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch, which covers solo company owners, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about RAKEZ. Anything else — ask GK AI or message us.
View all FAQsDo I need to visit the UAE to set up in RAKEZ?
In practice, most RAKEZ licences can be issued remotely with scanned paperwork and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residence visa is processed.
How many visas can I get with a RAKEZ licence?
From day one, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. RAKEZ packages in most cases start from a zero-visa option and scale to five or more visas with a physical office, and additional visas can be added later for the per-visa fee shown in our pricing.
How long does the RAKEZ licence take?
Once your supporting documents are complete, the authority for most applicants issues the licence within 5 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
What is the difference between an FZE and an FZCO in RAKEZ?
An FZE has one shareholder and an FZCO has two or more. Both offer limited liability and 100% foreign ownership, and the fees in RAKEZ are usually the same.
Is an audit required for a RAKEZ company?
Day to day, requirements vary by zone and by company size. GoldenKey will confirm the current RAKEZ rule when we prepare your quotation, and we provide bookkeeping if you need accounts in any case for corporate tax.

The zero-visa package is for founders who do not need UAE residency yet: existing residents on another visa, overseas owners who run the company remotely, and holding or e-commerce businesses with no staff. You can upgrade to a visa package at renewal or earlier by paying the difference, and the licence itself carries the same rights as a visa package.
