View all FAQsHow 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.
