FAQ's
A professional trade license is a legal authorization granted by the relevant authorities in Dubai that allows individuals or companies to conduct specific professional activities. This license is tailored for professions that require specialized skills and expertise, such as consultancy, legal services, healthcare, and creative fields. It provides legitimacy to your business and ensures compliance with the city’s regulations.
Dubai’s professional trade license encompasses a wide range of eligible professions, including but not limited to:
- Consultants (management, financial, IT, etc.)
- Healthcare practitioners (doctors, dentists, therapists)
- Legal practitioners (lawyers, legal consultants)
- Engineers and architects
- Designers (graphic, interior, fashion)
- Educators and trainers
- IT professionals
- Journalists and media professionals
Yes. While all fall under the Professional Trade License, each profession (legal, financial, or management consultancy) requires activity-specific approvals. For example, legal consultants may need clearance from the Legal Affairs Department, while financial advisors need pre-approvals from economic departments or DFSA (in DIFC).
Both are possible. If you’re a solo expert (e.g., corporate trainer, IT consultant, or digital marketer), you can operate with a freelance permit or register an LLC with a professional license. We help you choose the best option based on client type and scalability.
If you’re offering strategic healthcare or medical tourism consulting (non-clinical), DHA approval is usually not required. You can operate under a healthcare consultancy license regulated by the economic department. We confirm this based on your exact scope.
Professional trade licenses in Dubai are generally valid for one year. To renew your license, you’ll need to submit updated documents, proof of continued business activity, and pay the necessary renewal fees. Ensuring compliance with regulatory changes and settling any outstanding fines are also important steps in the renewal process.
