WhatsApp quoteSetting up a company in RAKEZ gives you 100% ownership, a UAE trade licence and the option to sponsor residence visas for yourself and your family. 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. Japanese nationals are a community of several thousand, mainly in trading houses, automotive, energy and engineering, so the RAKEZ authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Japanese applications every day and process them without hesitation. GoldenKey has Japanese customers from Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, and our consultants understand the papers issued in Japan and how to attest them for the UAE.
Why RAKEZ
RAKEZ is located in Ras Al Khaimah emirate — 45 minutes from Dubai via Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, and the registrar's processing time for a standard file is around 5 working days. 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.
