Required documents

• Valid passport or Emirates ID

Fees

• Monthly fees for each entertainer - Dh500

Points to note

• If alcohol will be provided, a special permit must be obtained (for venues without a special licence)
• The party attendees must be above 21 years old (in night clubs or bars)
• An entertainer permit must be obtained if there are entertainers (singers, performers, any other artists). While the entertainer permit is valid from one to six months, a temporary entertainer permit - valid for unlimited entertainers for 7 days - is also available
• Private parties can sell tickets only if the party is organised by an event organiser
• Weddings, engagement ceremonies, and condolences ceremonies, do not require a permit
