WhatsApp quoteA RAKEZ company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is issued. In our experience, 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. Put simply, indonesians are a growing community in hospitality, aviation, trading and halal products, so the RAKEZ authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Indonesian applications every day and process them without hesitation. The most common businesses Indonesians open through GoldenKey are in halal food, furniture, hospitality and palm oil, although RAKEZ supports almost any activity.
Why RAKEZ
Crucially, unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. Day to day, merger of RAK Free Trade Zone and RAK Investment Authority. For Indonesians, the practical advantages of RAKEZ are the ease of travel between Indonesia and the UAE, English is the working language, and a banking system that processes Indonesian rupiah (IDR) transfers daily.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the RAKEZ licence take?
Once your papers are complete, the licensing authority typically 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.
Can I add more activities to my RAKEZ licence later?
Yes, it can. RAKEZ allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few business days for a small authority fee.
Do Indonesians need a UAE visa before applying for RAKEZ?
No. You can apply for the licence from Indonesia with scanned papers, and the investor residence visa is processed afterwards.
How long does the process take for Indonesian applicants?
On the ground, processing for Indonesians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Indonesia that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
