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. 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 issued. Importantly, estonian business owners often pair an e-Residency company with a UAE entity for Gulf and Asian markets, which gives Estonian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their RAKEZ licence is issued. In our experience, for Estonian founders, the UAE is around 6.5 hours from Tallinn, the UAE is 1 to 2 hours ahead of Estonia, and English is the business language.
Why RAKEZ
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. RAKEZ licences are renewed annually with a simple online payment and updated passport copies, and GoldenKey sends a reminder 60 days before the due date.

Frequently asked questions
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 as a rule 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.
How long does the RAKEZ licence take?
Put simply, once your supporting documents are complete, the authority typically issues the licence within 5 business days. Visas and bank account opening follow afterwards.
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 clients 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.
Is education & training allowed in RAKEZ?
Yes. Estonians can own 100% of a training institute in the UAE. {brand} recommends RAKEZ for this activity and confirms any sector approvals before you commit.
Do Estonians need a UAE visa before applying for RAKEZ?
