I have recently changed companies; do I need to renew my Alcohol Licence?<\/h3>\n No. You will not need to renew your licence. But they will need to revalidate your \u00a0licence with Dubai Police. So African + Eastern will need a copy of your original licence, new visa and salary certificate OR Labour Contract Copy.<\/p>\n
What are the main reasons applications may be rejected by the Dubai Police?<\/h3>\n Religion, bounced cheques\/cheque fraud and police\/court cases are some of the main reasons the CID may reject your application. If you have been in a situation that involved the Dubai Police or Dubai Courts, a clearance letter is required to stipulate that the case is closed. You will then have to visit Dubai CID personally to get approval on your Alcohol Licence application.<\/p>\n
\u00a0My wife is under my sponsorship and does not work. Is she eligible for an Alcohol Licence?<\/h3>\n Yes, as your wife\u2019s (or husband\u2019s) sponsor, you will need to submit a copy of your salary certificate OR labour contract with her application. \u00a0<\/p>\n
I live in Dubai, but a different emirate has issued my visa. Can I apply for an Alcohol Licence?<\/h3>\n Yes. You will need a NOC letter from the respective Emirates’ Police Department or Municipality when submitting your application. For example, a NOC from Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority if your visa is from Abu Dhabi and a NOC from Fujairah Municipality for Fujairah visa holders.<\/p>\n
I live in Sharjah but work in Dubai and my visa has been issued in Dubai. What now?<\/h3>\n You can only apply for an Alcohol Licence if you live in Dubai. Since you live in Sharjah, your application for an Alcohol Licence has to be processed by the Sharjah Police. You will also need an NOC from the Dubai Police Department.<\/p>\n
I am working for a Free Zone company; do I need an NOC from a Free Zone Authority?<\/h3>\n No. Free Zone Authorities charge a fee for a NOC. Instead just submit an original salary certificate from your place of work.<\/p>\n
