Ask a Consultant
What happens if my licence expires?+

DED imposes monthly penalties on expired licences and may eventually blacklist the entity. Renew before expiry to avoid this.

Can I change my business activity?+

Yes — activity amendments are filed with DED or the free zone authority and typically take 2–3 working days.

Is ejari mandatory?+

Yes — DED requires a registered ejari (tenancy contract) for licence renewal in Dubai.
