FAQs

What is a RAKEZ in-country employment visa?

It is a standard employment visa processed for a candidate who is already inside the UAE, allowing them to legally work for a company registered in the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone.

Why do I need a new visa if I am already inside the UAE?

UAE residence visas are tied to a specific sponsor. If you change jobs or transition from a tourist visa, your new RAKEZ employer must apply for a new work visa on your behalf.

Do I need to leave the country to activate this visa?

No. The in-country process includes a formal change of status, which legally activates your new entry permit without requiring you to exit the UAE.

How long does it take to secure the initial entry permit and change of status?

Following the submission of all documents and the employment contract, the entry permit and change of status are typically issued within 2 to 3 business days.
