Who the Scale – 5 Visas package suits
The 5-visa package in RAKEZ includes an establishment card and the quota to sponsor 5 residence visas — usually the owner and 4 partner or staff members. Each visa is processed by GoldenKey for the per-visa fee shown above and remains valid for two years. If you later need more visas than the quota, we upgrade the office option rather than starting a new licence.
Why the UAE
Crucially, banking, logistics, telecoms and digital government services in the UAE are among the most advanced in the region, which keeps the running costs of a 5-visa licence in RAKEZ predictable. The UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international clients and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for a 5-visa licence in RAKEZ.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in RAKEZ?
Crucially, most RAKEZ licences can be issued remotely with scanned documents 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 handled.
Is an audit required for a RAKEZ company?
In our experience, 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.
Can I add more activities to my RAKEZ licence later?
It can. RAKEZ allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few working days (Monday to Friday) for a small authority fee.
Can a RAKEZ company do business on the UAE mainland?
A RAKEZ company can sell to mainland customers through a mainland distributor, invoice services to mainland clients in most cases, and apply for a dual-licence arrangement where the emirate offers one. Direct retail or on-site contracting on the mainland needs a mainland licence.
Can I open a UAE bank account with a RAKEZ company?
Yes, RAKEZ companies open accounts with UAE banks every day. Approval depends on the bank's compliance review of your profile, business plan and paperwork, and GoldenKey prepares the file and introduces you to a suitable bank.
