WhatsApp quoteRAKEZ combines competitive pricing with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, so it suits both first-time founders and established groups. RAKEZ issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ras Al Khaimah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Payments between Russia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Russian rouble (RUB) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Russian business profiles. As a rule, russians are a fast-growing community that has expanded sharply since 2022, with strong presence in Dubai Marina, JLT and Business Bay, so the RAKEZ authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Russian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why RAKEZ
One of the reasons we point clients to RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running.

GoldenKey has prepared RAKEZ files for Russian clients in IT and software, trading, real estate and e-commerce, which means we know which Russia documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

Frequently asked questions
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.
How many visas can I get with a RAKEZ licence?
In short, 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.
Do I need to visit the UAE to set up in RAKEZ?
Most RAKEZ licences can be issued remotely with scanned papers and a signed power of attorney. You will need to enter the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics when your residence visa is completed.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Russia and the UAE?
Absolutely. The UAE and Russia have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
Do Russians need a UAE visa before applying for RAKEZ?
No, it does not. You can apply for the licence from Russia with scanned supporting documents, and the investor residence visa is completed afterwards.
