Frequently asked questions

How much office space do I need for a Ras Al Khaimah mainland licence?

Importantly, the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development (RAK DED) requires a registered tenancy for most licences. A small office or a desk in a business centre is enough for a few visas, and the visa quota increases with the floor area.

Do I still need an Emirati partner for a Ras Al Khaimah mainland company?

Crucially, for most commercial and industrial activities, no. Since 2021 foreign nationals can own 100% of a Ras Al Khaimah mainland LLC. A short list of strategic activities still requires Emirati participation, and GoldenKey checks your activity before you commit.

What is the difference between Ras Al Khaimah mainland and a free zone?

Mainland companies can trade directly with any UAE customer and take government contracts; free zone companies have lower costs and customs benefits but trade with the mainland through distributors. GoldenKey compares both for your specific activity.

Which licence type covers engineering consultancy?

Crucially, engineering Consultancy is classified as a professional activity, and GoldenKey selects the exact activity code so your licence matches what you actually do.

What approvals does engineering consultancy need?

Municipality engineering consultancy registration. GoldenKey obtains these as part of the setup.
