RAKEZ Company Formation for Turkish nationals

Guide for Turkish founders · around 4.5 hours from Istanbul from Ankara

In short, if you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, RAKEZ deserves a close look for its competitive pricing and straightforward renewal process. Founders choose RAKEZ when they want a credible UAE address, fast licensing and packages that scale from a solo flexi-desk to a multi-visa office. The most common businesses Turkish nationals open through GoldenKey are in construction, textiles and garments, food and beverage and furniture, although RAKEZ supports almost any activity. From day one, turkish nationals are a growing community of traders, contractors and restaurateurs, especially in Dubai, so the RAKEZ authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Turkish applications every day and process them without hesitation.

Why RAKEZ

One of the reasons our advice is to choose RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most entrepreneurs realise once the business is running. To be clear, unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. For Turkish nationals, the practical advantages of RAKEZ are the ease of travel between Türkiye and the UAE, English is the working language; Turkish-speaking advisers are available, and a banking system that processes Turkish lira (TRY) transfers daily.
