RAKEZ for Indian Citizens

What changes with the passport — and what doesn't

Eligibility doesn't: Indian founders own 100% at RAKEZ, sponsor their own residency, and face the same tariff — from AED 6,010, issuing in ~2–5 working days.

What the passport does shape is the file: documents from India legalise through the embassy chain serving Mumbai, Delhi and Kochi, and bank onboarding leans on a source-of-funds narrative written for compliance. India is the UAE's largest trading partner and its founders form the biggest expat business community — precedent that helps your file read as familiar.

Zone-side, the differentiator stands: rakez combines economic and industrial zones with warehouse-attached licences.

The banking reality

The licence is step one; the account is the milestone. Here is the banking read. Every UAE bank keeps a quiet appetite matrix — zone by activity by nationality the professional move is matching your profile to a bank currently approving it, then building one strong KYC pack instead of three weak applications.

Our banking desk builds the file the way reviewers read it; that discipline — not luck — is what a 98% approval rate is made of.

Timeline without the marketing

From signed engagement to licence in hand, RAKEZ runs about 5–7 working days on a clean file. Immigration adds a week per visa; banking runs 1–3 weeks in parallel once the licence exists. Six weeks start-to-operating is the honest median for a full stack.

We publish each milestone to you on WhatsApp as it completes — the calendar above is what we are accountable to, not a brochure estimate.

Advisor’s note

“Two-year totals end most arguments about RAKEZ. Arithmetic is the most persuasive consultant in this office.”

Why here, economically

Market context matters here: India is the UAE's largest trading partner and its founders form the biggest expat business community. That community depth translates into suppliers who know your paperwork, customers who recognise your model, and bankers who have seen your profile succeed before.

The document pack

Here is the working checklist we open for RAKEZ files. Individual shareholders travel light; corporate shareholders add an attested parent pack.

We pre-check every document against the authority's current standards before submission — resubmission cycles, not requirements, are what stretch timelines.
