About RAKEZ
Why RAKEZ
RAKEZ issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ras Al Khaimah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. RAKEZ combines competitive pricing with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. Payments between Romania and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Romanian leu (RON) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Romanian business profiles. The most common businesses Romanians open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, hospitality, construction and aviation, although RAKEZ supports almost any activity.
As a rule, one of the reasons we recommend RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most founders 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. For Romanians, the practical advantages of RAKEZ are the ease of travel between Romania and the UAE, English is widely spoken by Romanian professionals, and a banking system that processes Romanian leu (RON) transfers daily.

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?
In our experience, most RAKEZ licences can be issued remotely with scanned documents 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?
In our experience, 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.
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 a Romanian citizen own 100% of a company in RAKEZ?
Yes. Romanians can own the full share capital of a RAKEZ company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Romanians need a UAE visa before applying for RAKEZ?
No. You can apply for the licence from Romania with scanned supporting documents, and the investor UAE residence visa is processed afterwards.
