About RAKEZ
Why RAKEZ
RAKEZ combines competitive pricing with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time entrepreneurs and established groups. Setting up a company in RAKEZ gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. Typical examples of this activity include structural consultancy, MEP design, project management and surveying, which can as a rule sit together on one RAKEZ licence. In practice, engineering Consultancy in RAKEZ means civil, structural, MEP and project-management engineering consultancy, and it is licensed as a professional activity.
On the ground, one of the reasons we recommend RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most entrepreneurs realise once the business is running. The authority permits Free Zone Establishment (FZE), Free Zone Company (FZCO) and Branch, which covers solo founders, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. GoldenKey has licensed engineering consultancy in RAKEZ for clients ranging from solo founders to groups opening a regional branch, so we know which sub-activities to list.

Our process
How RAKEZ works with GoldenKey
- 1
Consultation and activity selection
Crucially, in the first call we check that RAKEZ lists your activity, settle the licence type and match the visa package and office to what you actually need. For engineering consultancy in RAKEZ, GoldenKey completes this stage with you on WhatsApp or by email.
- 2
Name reservation and initial approval
In practice, we submit your preferred trade names to RAKEZ and secure initial approval, normally within a day or two of submission.
- 3
Document submission and payment
You sign the application forms and memorandum, we submit the attested paperwork and the licence fee is paid to the issuing authority. For engineering consultancy in RAKEZ this step rarely needs your presence; scans and e-signatures are enough.

Licence issued and next steps
For most clients, once the RAKEZ licence and company documents are released, we move immediately to the immigration file, residence visas and the bank meeting.
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?
Most RAKEZ licences can be issued remotely with scanned papers and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residency 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 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.
Is an audit required for a RAKEZ company?
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 combine engineering consultancy with other activities?
For most clients, in most cases yes. Related activities can share one licence, while unrelated ones may need a general trading licence or a second licence.
Which licence type covers engineering consultancy?
Engineering Consultancy is classified as a professional activity, and GoldenKey selects the exact activity code so your licence matches what you actually do.

Good to know
More about RAKEZ
Why the UAE
The UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, which is why so many founders choose it as a base for engineering consultancy in RAKEZ. The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for engineering consultancy in RAKEZ and makes international pricing simple.
Why GoldenKey
GoldenKey is based in Ajman Free Zone and has helped founders from more than 60 countries with engineering consultancy in RAKEZ, so the paperwork, approvals and timing hold no surprises for us. We speak the languages our clients speak, including English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and Malayalam, and we can arrange Russian, French and Mandarin support for engineering consultancy in RAKEZ. For most clients, you deal with one named adviser from the first call until your RAKEZ licence, visa and bank introduction are complete, and that consultant answers your WhatsApp messages personally.
