RAK ICC
RAK International Corporate Centre
Why this zone
Useful for holding, never for operating. It is a low-cost holding vehicle that grants neither residence, nor an activity licence, nor access to the UAE market.
What to watch for
This is the commonest and costliest confusion in this market. RAK ICC is not a free zone: it grants no visa. If you want UAE residence, you need RAKEZ or another zone, not this one.
Fee breakdown
The zone's schedule covers the licence, the establishment card and visa processing, billed separately. The itemised figures appear in your quote, after scoping.
Suited activities

Banking
