DMCC PRO services: visas, licence renewal, cards and portal filings

They cover the filings a DMCC company makes after setup: licence and establishment card renewals, new employment visas, renewals and cancellations, Permanent Identity Cards and access approvals, salary certificates, Arabic letters and NOCs, company extracts, amendments and the annual compliance dates. Nearly all of it is submitted in the DMCC Member Portal, with DMCC sending visa work to GDRFA Dubai and ICP.

Yes, and it should. DMCC's portal has separate user roles: an Entry user can create service requests but cannot confirm payment, while an Admin or Approver can. Where DMCC allows it, add your PRO as an Entry user so your own Approver confirms each payment. We never ask for passwords, and we act only on your written authorisation.

Log into the DMCC Member Portal and open Company Services, Licensing Services, Licence Renewal. Choose the licence and term, enter the Ejari number or upload the lease or title deed, tick Renew Lease if fewer than 90 days remain, then pay and submit. DMCC takes 2 business days. Have the insurances and the Operational Fitness Certificate ready before you start.

DMCC's schedule lists a 1-year trading or service licence at AED 20,265; with the mandatory government charges added you pay AED 20,285, which is the figure on our price list. Longer terms on DMCC's schedule are AED 40,530 for 2 years, AED 60,795 for 3 years and AED 101,325 for 5 years, with discounts of 5%, 10% and 20%. A general trading or business centre licence is AED 50,265 a year. Extra activities, the fitness certificate and the lease are charged separately.

DMCC's schedule lists no late fee for the first 30 days, then AED 2,500 for 31 to 60 days and AED 5,000 for 61 to 90 days. More costly is the sanction DMCC puts on the portal account after expiry: until it is cleared, new visas, renewals, letters and officer changes cannot be submitted, and DMCC may terminate the licence.

AED 1,800 for the annual renewal on our price list; DMCC's schedule lists AED 2,205 with priority service. A late renewal costs AED 100 a month, capped at AED 1,000, which DMCC says is set by ICP. The card must be valid, together with the licence, before DMCC accepts any visa application, renewal or cancellation.

DMCC's target is 20 working days or less from submission to the residence visa. The entry permit is valid for 60 days and cannot be renewed; once the employee enters, stamping must be finished within 60 days. DMCC's priority service only speeds up its own stamping stage, not the immigration approvals.

For an employee outside the UAE, our October 2026 price list is AED 4,196 with a normal medical (AED 330) or AED 4,701 with a Smart Salem medical (AED 835). Both include the visa at AED 2,975, the Emirates ID at AED 477 and premium insurance at AED 414. Our fee is AED 750, VAT included, so AED 4,946 or AED 5,451 in total. For a hire already in the UAE, DMCC's schedule lists the 2-year visa line at AED 3,407.50, or AED 4,220 with a status change, and the medical, Emirates ID and insurance are added.

No. DMCC's guide to free zone visas says they are issued and regulated by the free zone authority, while mainland visas go through MOHRE. The employment contract is generated and signed electronically in the DMCC portal. The UAE Labour Law still governs the employment, as DMCC's Employment Rules state.

AED 2,200 for a 1-year renewal or AED 2,790 for 2 years, plus Emirates ID typing, medical and insurance. DMCC processes it in 3 to 5 working days. Start before the visa expires: DMCC charges AED 50 a day once the 30-day grace after expiry has passed. Update a new passport in the portal first.

Raise Employment Services, Apply for Employment Visa Cancellation in the portal with the passport, visa page, resignation or termination letter and the e-signed end of service entitlement. Cancel any dependants' visas first, and file a change of manager first if the employee is the manager. DMCC charges AED 438 inside the UAE or AED 580 outside and takes 2 working days.

DMCC's cancellation guideline (version 5, July 2025) says the documents carry a grace period of 29 days to leave the UAE or change status. In Dubai the standard grace after a residence cancellation is 30 days, and some categories get 60, 90 or 180. The date printed on the cancellation document is the one that applies.

PIC stands for Permanent Identity Card. It lets a person who already has UAE residence work for a DMCC company without a DMCC visa: DMCC lists it for 10-year visa holders, GCC and Emirati nationals, and employees on a father's or husband's sponsorship. It costs AED 1,115 new or renewed, lasts one year and counts against the visa quota.

An electronic approval for someone who is not your employee to work in your DMCC premises for a period, such as a consultant, contractor or a parent company's staff. It costs AED 230 for 1 month, AED 530 for 3 months or AED 1,030 for 12 months. Only the 12-month approval renews, and approvals are capped at 30% of your workforce.

Your company requests it in the portal under Employment Services, Letters and certificates, Salary certificate, choosing Arabic or English. No uploads are needed, DMCC charges AED 165 and issues it in 1 working day. It is valid for one month and carries a validation code. Only active employees on a DMCC employment visa can get one.

Employee NOCs, such as for an RTA learner's permit, opening a business or a family hold, are requested by the company in the portal and cost AED 165 (AED 60 for a family hold). Company NOCs to a bank, DEWA, du, Etisalat or the Land Department cost AED 265. The NOC for a 10-year visa is AED 2,000.

Up to 3. DMCC sets quota by workspace: up to 3 visas on a flexi desk, 4 or 5 in a serviced office, and 1 visa per 9 square metres of physical space. A quota increase costs AED 500 per extra visa plus AED 250, and needs a physical unit, so a flexi desk company must move office to grow beyond 3.

Within six months after the end of each financial year. DMCC's guideline (April 2025) asks for the audited financial statements and the auditor's signed summary sheet, uploaded under Compliance Services in the portal. The auditor must be on DMCC's Approved Auditors List; branch companies with a group auditor are exempt from that rule. DMCC charges no fee.

DMCC puts a sanction on the company's portal account, which blocks new visas, renewals, letters and officer changes until the licence is renewed. Late fees apply from day 31, the company must not operate without a valid licence, and DMCC may terminate it. Reinstating a terminated company costs at least AED 30,280 on DMCC's schedule.

Yes. A DMCC employee sponsors family on a Dubai residence file under GDRFA rules, including the salary test of AED 4,000 a month, or AED 3,000 with housing. DMCC's employment hub lists dependant visas for a wife, children and parents through its portal. Dependants must be cancelled before the sponsoring employee's own visa.

AED 750 per new DMCC employment visa, AED 600 per renewal, AED 500 per cancellation and AED 400 for an establishment card, 5% VAT included. Licence renewals, amendments, PIC cards, access approvals, letters and company documents are quoted in writing on WhatsApp. DMCC and government charges, such as AED 4,196 (normal medical) or AED 4,701 (Smart Salem) for a new visa from abroad, are paid from your portal balance on top of our fee.
