Tajer License: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how UAE and GCC citizens can legally run home-based businesses with the Tajer License.
The Tajer License is a legal permit that allows you to run a business from your home without the need for a physical office space.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for UAE nationals and GCC citizens who want to operate a business from their place of residence.
What you get
By obtaining this license, you receive official permission to conduct your business activities legally from your home. This removes the requirement to rent or maintain a separate commercial office.
What it costs you
There is an annual fee for this license, which typically starts around 1,000 AED. To apply, you will need to provide your Emirates ID and documentation that proves where you live.
The catch to know
This license does not cover every type of business. It only applies to specific activities, so you must ensure your specific trade—such as tailoring—is explicitly listed on your permit.
How to apply
- Check that your intended business activity is permitted under this license.
- Gather your Emirates ID and proof of residence.
- Submit your application through the official portal.
- Pay the required annual fee.
