Education & Training in the UAE for Swiss nationals

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. Unlike some zones, RAKEZ does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued.

How RAKEZ works with GoldenKey

1. 
   Step 1

   Consultation and activity selection

   From day one, in the first call we check that RAKEZ lists your activity, settle the licence type and match the visa package and office to what you actually need. If the authority raises a query on opening a training institute in the UAE as a Swiss founder at this stage, we handle it the same day.

2. 
   Step 2

   Name reservation and initial approval

   We submit your preferred trade names to RAKEZ and secure initial approval, normally within a day or two of submission.

3. 
   Step 3

   Document submission and payment

   As we tell every client, you sign the application forms and memorandum, we submit the attested documents and the licence fee is paid to the authority. This is also the point at which we answer any question specific to opening a training institute in the UAE as a Swiss founder.

4. 
   Step 4

   Licence issued and next steps

   RAKEZ issues the licence, incorporation certificate and lease; from there we open the establishment card, process visas and arrange your bank introduction.

Why the UAE

Put simply, the dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for opening a training institute in the UAE as a Swiss founder and makes international pricing simple. 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 a Swiss founder for international company owners.
