Instant License
Dubai Economy has reduced the fee for instant licences by over 90 per cent, from Dh3,000 to Dh250 and the same fee will apply when the instant licence is renewed.
An instant licence includes four legal forms – Limited Liability Company, One Person LLC, Sole Proprietorship and Civil Company. Business owners can obtain online a general commercial licence, which includes general trade activity, in addition to activities that do not require external approvals and are permitted for both citizens and residents.
Furthermore, the licensee is given membership in Dubai Chamber instantly, an establishment card of the General Directorate of Residency & Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) as well as three work permits for employees from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) once the trade licence is issued.

The registration of ‘Native’ workers in the MoHRE is an added feature of the Instant Licence.
The instant licence service reduces human interaction through automated licensing procedures and easy access to a business licence. It guarantees that entrepreneurs can start their business activity immediately after the licence is secured, and then complete the remaining requirements of the licence, such as approvals from other relevant government entities.
