Photography & Videography in RAKEZ

Commercial, wedding, product and real estate photography and videography

RAKEZ issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ras Al Khaimah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. 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. Typical examples of this activity include wedding photographer, product photography, drone videography (with GCAA permit) and real estate photography, which can generally sit together on one RAKEZ licence. Photography & Videography in RAKEZ means commercial, wedding, product and real estate photography and videography, and it is licensed as a professional activity.

Why RAKEZ

As we tell every client, industrial zones with factory units from 200 sq m. RAKEZ licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date. In short, for photography & videography, RAKEZ offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
