RAKEZ for Turkish Citizens
RAKEZ, specifically for applicants from Türkiye.
What changes with the passport — and what doesn't
Eligibility doesn't: Turkish founders own 100% at RAKEZ, sponsor their own residency, and face the same tariff — from AED 6,500, issuing in ~2–5 working days.
Two passport-shaped realities: the legalisation chain from Istanbul, and bank matching. Turkish contracting and food brands use the UAE as their GCC distribution base — which means reviewers have seen files like yours succeed, and we choose the banks where that precedent lives.
Zone-side, the differentiator stands: rakez combines economic and industrial zones with warehouse-attached licences — as every RAKEZ for Turkish Citizens — Setup Guide 2026 file demonstrates.
