Education & Training in the UAE for Austrians

Why RAKEZ

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. One of the reasons we recommend RAKEZ is its competitive pricing, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running.

How RAKEZ works with GoldenKey

1. 
   Step 1

   Consultation and activity selection

   GoldenKey starts by confirming your activity is available in RAKEZ, then agrees the licence category, visa quota and office option with you in writing. If the authority raises a query on opening a training institute in the UAE as an Austrian founder at this stage, we handle it the same day.

2. 
   Step 2

   Name reservation and initial approval

   GoldenKey reserves your trade name with the RAKEZ authority and obtains initial approval, in most cases within one to two working days (Monday to Friday).

3. 
   Step 3

   Document submission and payment

   To be clear, with the forms and memorandum signed, GoldenKey lodges the attested paperwork and settles the licence fee with the authority on your behalf. For opening a training institute in the UAE as an Austrian founder this step rarely needs your presence; scans and e-signatures are enough.

4. 
   Step 4

   Licence issued and next steps

   In short, your RAKEZ licence, certificate of incorporation and lease are released, and we move straight on to the establishment card, visas and bank introduction.

Why the UAE

In practice, english is the working language of business, contracts are routinely drafted in English, and government portals are bilingual, which simplifies opening a training institute in the UAE as an Austrian founder for international founders. Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so opening a training institute in the UAE as an Austrian founder no longer requires a local partner.
