What Is a Commercial Permit Renewal in the UAE?

Stay Legally Operational With a Valid Trade Licence

Commercial permit renewal is a mandatory procedure to maintain the validity of a business licence issued by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). The permit must be renewed before expiry to continue any commercial activity legally within the UAE.

The process includes document verification, submission via the DET online system, and payment of government fees. Late renewal may result in fines or suspension of business operations.

EGSH handles the whole procedure on your behalf — ensuring compliance, accuracy, and same-day completion through official government channels.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Good morning, I needed to apply for the Golden Visa and went to this EGSH Emirates office. I was very impressed by their facilities and the peaceful atmosphere. We were fortunate to be assisted by María Claudia García, who provided exceptional service. She advised and helped us every step of the way, guiding us through the entire process until we obtained the Golden Visa. Honestly, people with this level of professionalism and personal touch make one feel more at ease and integrated into this country. Thank you!

For me, it was a 10/10 experience, the quickest and smoothest process someone could have in this journey. Strongly recommend them.
