RAKEZ is RAK's all-in-one economic zone — business, industrial and academic licences, and it has become one of the most practical choices for company owners who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through RAKEZ company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. GoldenKey has Bangladeshi clients from Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet, and our consultants understand the documents issued in Bangladesh and how to attest them for the UAE. The most common businesses Bangladeshis open through GoldenKey are in garments and textiles, trading, construction and logistics, although RAKEZ supports almost any activity.
Why RAKEZ
Day to day, unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. Popular activities in RAKEZ include trading, industrial, consultancy, services and manufacturing, and most of them can be combined on a single licence. Importantly, many Bangladeshi business owners run RAKEZ companies alongside an existing business in Bangladesh, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in RAKEZ?
As a rule, 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 processed.
How long does the RAKEZ licence take?
On the ground, once your documents are complete, the licensing authority in most cases issues the licence within 5 working days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
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 customers 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.
How long does the process take for Bangladeshi applicants?
Crucially, processing for Bangladeshis follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Bangladesh that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
Do Bangladeshis need a UAE visa before applying for RAKEZ?
No. You can apply for the licence from Bangladesh with scanned supporting documents, and the investor residency visa is handled afterwards.
