How long does Ras Al Khaimah mainland company formation take?
Put simply, with documents and a tenancy contract ready, the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development (RAK DED) normally issues the licence within 4 working days (Monday to Friday). External approvals for regulated activities add time.
Do I still need an Emirati partner for a Ras Al Khaimah mainland company?
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.
Are Ras Al Khaimah mainland companies subject to corporate tax?
Absolutely. Mainland companies pay 9% corporate tax on profits above AED 375,000 and must register with the FTA, which GoldenKey handles as part of your setup.
Do Hungarians need a UAE visa before applying for Ras Al Khaimah?
Not in that case. You can apply for the licence from Hungary with scanned supporting documents, and the investor residence visa is handled afterwards.
How long does the process take for Hungarian applicants?
In practice, processing for Hungarians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Hungary that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
