About RAK
Why Ras Al Khaimah
From day one, since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Ras Al Khaimah mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection founders used to have. A Ras Al Khaimah mainland licence, issued 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. In short, romanians are a large community working in hospitality, aviation, construction and IT, so the Ras Al Khaimah authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Romanian applications every day and process them without hesitation. GoldenKey has Romanian clients from Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara, and our consultants understand the supporting documents issued in Romania and how to attest them for the UAE.
From day one, popular districts for a Ras Al Khaimah mainland office include Al Nakheel, Al Dhait, Al Hamra, Al Marjan Island and Al Qusaidat, each with different rent levels and customer footfall. Businesses that benefit most from Ras Al Khaimah mainland licensing include manufacturing, tourism, hospitality, construction materials and agriculture, because they serve customers on site across the emirate. As a rule, romanian applicants benefit from the fact that Ras Al Khaimah already has many Romanian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Romania documents and name formats instantly.
