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. A RAKEZ company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is released. Typical examples of this activity include digital printing, signage, label printing and packaging manufacturing, which can usually sit together on one RAKEZ licence. GoldenKey has licensed printing and packaging company businesses for clients in RAKEZ and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.
Why RAKEZ
Importantly, unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is granted. 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. Importantly, for printing & packaging, RAKEZ offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the RAKEZ licence take?
Once your documents are complete, the licensing authority normally issues the licence within 5 working days (Monday to Friday). Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
How many visas can I get with a RAKEZ licence?
In our experience, visa quota is tied to the package and office you choose. RAKEZ packages normally 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.
Can I add more activities to my RAKEZ licence later?
Yes. RAKEZ allows activity additions and changes through a licence amendment, which GoldenKey can process in a few working days for a small authority fee.
What approvals does printing & packaging need?
As a rule, civil defence; National Media Council for publishing print. GoldenKey obtains these as part of the setup.
Which licence type covers printing & packaging?
Printing & Packaging is classified as a industrial activity, and GoldenKey selects the exact activity code so your licence matches what you actually do.
