What are the restrictions of the Dubai E Trader license for expats?
The Dubai E Trader license for expats (non Emirati national and non GCC national) does have some downsides to be aware of:
-Does not provide the expat with a residence visa
-Does not enable the expat to employ staff - effectively, the individual is a sole trader working on their own
-Does not enable the expat to lease commercial premises e.g. office space, workshop or commercial kitchen
-Does not enable the expat to sell goods, either retail of wholesale (however, do note that Emirati nationals and GCC nationals can sell goods with the e trader license)
-Restrictions on activities by nationality - check in advance!
- Individual ownership - so friends and family can't collaborate on a new business idea.
