RAKEZ issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ras Al Khaimah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. GoldenKey has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs through RAKEZ company formation, from name reservation to the moment the licence PDF lands in their inbox. In our experience, payments between Denmark and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Danish krone (DKK) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Danish business profiles. Danish shipping and logistics groups are major operators at Jebel Ali and across the Gulf, which gives Danish entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their RAKEZ licence is granted.
Why RAKEZ
Just as important, unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. From day one, office options in RAKEZ range from flexi-desk, office suite, warehouse, industrial unit or land lease, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. From day one, danish applicants benefit from the fact that RAKEZ already has many Danish shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Denmark documents and name formats instantly.

Frequently asked questions
How many visas can I get with a RAKEZ licence?
For most clients, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. RAKEZ packages usually 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?
In our experience, once your documents are complete, the registrar normally issues the licence within 5 business days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
Can a Danish citizen own 100% of a company in RAKEZ?
Yes, it can. Danes can own the full share capital of a RAKEZ company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
How long does the process take for Danish applicants?
Put simply, processing for Danes follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Denmark that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
