With paperwork and a tenancy contract ready, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) typically issues the licence within 4 working days (Monday to Friday). External approvals for regulated activities add time.
Can a Dubai mainland company trade in other emirates?
Yes. A mainland licence is valid across the UAE, and you can open branches in other emirates by registering with their economic departments.
Is beauty salon & spa allowed in Dubai?
Yes — Turkish nationals can own 100% of a beauty salon in the UAE. {brand} recommends Dubai for this activity and confirms any sector approvals before you commit.
