WhatsApp quoteRAKEZ issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Ras Al Khaimah, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. RAKEZ combines competitive pricing with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. In our experience, education & Training in RAKEZ means training centres, tutoring, corporate training, e-learning and vocational institutes, and it is licensed as a professional activity. New Zealanders are a small community in dairy, education, aviation and hospitality, so the RAKEZ authority, the banks and the immigration officers see New Zealander applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why RAKEZ
On the ground, unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. 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.
