Frequently
asked questions.
Commercial photography may require filming or photography approvals and permission from the relevant property owner or location authority. We review the specific project before advising.
Not automatically. A fashion show may require an event permit and participant details, but the correct classification depends on the activity. Each model's lawful work status must also be assessed separately.
Live performances generally need to be covered by the appropriate event or venue activity authorisation. Performer documentation and applicable work permissions may also be required.
International clients can plan productions in Dubai, but some permit categories must be submitted by an eligible locally licensed applicant. We assess the required local arrangements.
Approvals and processing times are determined by the relevant authorities. Urgent handling may be possible in some categories but is subject to acceptance and additional charges.
