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. 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. Payments between Poland and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Polish złoty (PLN) transfers settle promptly and UAE banks are familiar with Polish business profiles. For Polish entrepreneurs, the UAE is around 6 hours from Warsaw, the UAE is 2 to 3 hours ahead of Poland, and English is widely spoken among Polish professionals.
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 granted. RAKEZ is located in Ras Al Khaimah emirate — 45 minutes from Dubai via Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and the authority's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days. Polish applicants benefit from the fact that RAKEZ already has many Polish shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Poland papers and name formats instantly.
