RAKEZ for Chinese Citizens
How Chinese founders license at RAKEZ — what changes, what doesn't, and the file we build.
What changes with the passport — and what doesn't
Eligibility doesn't: Chinese founders own 100% at RAKEZ, sponsor their own residency, and face the same tariff — from AED 6,500, issuing in ~2–5 working days.
Where RAKEZ for Chinese Citizens — Setup Guide 2026 is concerned, two passport-shaped realities: the legalisation chain from Yiwu, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and bank matching.

The avoidable failures
