Build the right RAKEZ Free Zone setup around your business activity
RAKEZ Free Zone business setup is not only about obtaining a licence. Your activity, legal structure, shareholders, facility needs and expected UAE residency visa requirements should be considered together before an application is prepared. AW helps entrepreneurs, investors, freelancers and companies organise these decisions into a clear setup file.
Whether you are planning a new UAE company, an e-commerce activity, professional or service business, trading operation or another eligible activity, we help you review the practical setup route and prepare the supporting information required for the application process.
Business activity & licence planning
Clarify the work your company will perform and review the suitable licence and activity route before submission.
Legal entity & shareholders
Plan individual or corporate ownership, shareholder information, manager details and the documents relevant to the proposed structure.
Facility & visa requirements
Consider workspace or facility needs together with the number and type of residence visas your setup may need, subject to eligibility.
Application & document coordination
Organise the application, identification records and supporting company documents, then coordinate requested follow-ups through the relevant service process.
RAKEZ offers multiple business licence, legal entity and facility routes. The suitable option depends on the proposed activity and case requirements, so AW confirms the applicable setup path before you proceed.
Practical support, clearly scoped
Guidance built around your actual setup
Activity clarity
Describe the intended work accurately before choosing a licence route.
Document review
Organise the applicable personal or corporate shareholder evidence.
Application coordination
Keep submissions and requested follow-ups structured and traceable.
Visa planning
Consider eligibility and immigration steps without assuming approval.
UAE residency visa support
Plan your UAE residence visa process alongside your business setup
For many founders and professionals, the company setup and UAE residency visa process are closely connected. Once the relevant business or permit stage is completed, eligible residence-visa procedures can follow under the applicable authority rules. AW helps you understand what information to prepare, the sequence of eligible steps and the documents that may be requested.
Investor or partner visa guidance
For eligible business owners and shareholders, we can help coordinate the documentation and practical steps connected with a company-sponsored UAE residence visa.
Employee residence visa coordination
Where the company and visa allocation allow, AW can support preparation and coordination for eligible employee residence-visa processes after the required company stages are in place.
Freelancer visa support
Freelancers can review permit eligibility, supporting evidence and related UAE residence-visa steps through the applicable RAKEZ process.
Residence-visa eligibility, quota, medical, identity, immigration and sponsorship requirements can vary by setup and current authority rules. AW provides coordination support and does not guarantee approval.
Document preparation
What you may need for business setup and visa processing
Exact requirements depend on whether the shareholder is an individual or a company, the selected activity, current UAE residency status and the visa route. Preparing a clean document file early can reduce avoidable back-and-forth during the application process.
Common documents may include
- Colour passport copies
- Current UAE visa or entry-status documents
- Emirates ID copy where applicable
- Passport-size photo or identity documents where requested
- Shareholder and manager information
- Proposed business activity details
- Corporate documents for company shareholders
- UBO or ownership information where applicable
- Business plan for activities that require one
- NOC or supporting documents where applicable

Start with your intended business activity, shareholder structure, preferred company route, facility requirements and expected visa needs. These details help determine the practical setup pathway and document checklist.
Can a RAKEZ Free Zone setup be linked to a UAE residence visa?
Many eligible RAKEZ business and freelancer routes can support UAE residence-visa applications. The available visa eligibility and quota depend on the selected package, facility, company structure and current authority requirements.
Can AW help with investor, partner or employee residence visas?
AW can support eligible company-related visa preparation and process coordination within the applicable service scope. Final immigration, identity, medical and residency approvals remain with the relevant authorities.
