How much does RAKEZ cost with 1 visa in 2026?

What the AED 14,000 package covers

AED 14,000 is the complete cost of a RAKEZ company with its owner resident in the UAE: trade licence, government and authority fees, setup service, and one full visa block running from entry permit through medical, Emirates ID and stamping. Set against the AED 6,000 licence-only figure, AED 8,000 of the total relates to residency — a useful split when you are weighing whether you need the visa at all.

Who picks this option

This is the zone's solo-relocation package. Typical buyers are a consultant moving to the UAE to bill clients across the Gulf, an online seller pairing residency with a low-cost northern-emirates licence, or a services contractor who needs one visa now and expects to hire later — the steps to two visas (AED 18,000) and three (AED 22,000) are modest.

Two things founders ask

Can I sponsor my family on this visa? Yes, once your own residence visa is issued and you meet the immigration income criteria; dependants are sponsored by you personally rather than through the package.

Can a second visa be added later? Yes — the visa allocation on an existing licence can be increased without re-forming the company. As a benchmark, the two-visa package is AED 18,000 all-in.
