Why Ras Al Khaimah
Since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Ras Al Khaimah mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection entrepreneurs used to have. A Ras Al Khaimah mainland licence, granted by the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development (RAK DED), lets your company trade anywhere in the UAE, bid for government work and open as many branches as you need. The most common businesses Czechs open through GoldenKey are in engineering, glass and crystal, aviation and software, although Ras Al Khaimah supports almost any activity. In our experience, payments between Czech Republic and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Czech koruna (CZK) transfers settle fast and UAE banks are familiar with Czech business profiles.
For most clients, government and semi-government tenders in Ras Al Khaimah require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges. For most clients, the emirate's tourism sector is expanding rapidly around Al Marjan Island. GoldenKey has prepared Ras Al Khaimah files for Czech customers in engineering, glass and crystal, aviation and software, which means we know which Czech Republic documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
