About RAKEZ
Why RAKEZ
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 founders 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 licensed crypto or blockchain company businesses for clients in RAKEZ and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later. Typical examples of this activity include blockchain development, Web3 consultancy, NFT platform and mining hardware trading, which can in most cases sit together on one RAKEZ licence.
On the ground, industrial zones with factory units from 200 sq m. As we tell every client, unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. RAKEZ is a sensible home for crypto & blockchain because blockchain development, Web3 consultancy and, with VARA or ADGM licensing, virtual asset services is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.

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?
As we tell every client, most RAKEZ licences can be granted 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.
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.
How many visas can I get with a RAKEZ licence?
Put simply, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. RAKEZ packages typically 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.

Crypto & Blockchain is classified as a professional activity, and GoldenKey selects the exact activity code so your licence matches what you actually do.
