DUBAI FISHING LICENSES FOR RESIDENTS ONLY

 Individuals who want to go fishing must obtain a license from the municipality for recreational fishing — whether it is along the coastline or in leisure boats.

Expatriates who wish to go for recreational fishing in Dubai must be residing in Dubai.

"A fishing license is a requirement for individuals prior to conducting [any] fishing activity. The fishing license will be given only to those who have their residency visa issued in Dubai and are living in Dubai," no fishing license would be issued to those who have their visas issued from another emirate and are living in another emirate. Even if the residency visa is issued in Dubai no fishing license will be given if the person is living in another emirate.

Equal conditions

The same law is followed across other emirates, adding that Emiratis who have their passports issued from Dubai can fish in Dubai.

"If people have their residency visa issued from another emirate they must be living in Dubai to be given fishing license from Dubai. They must prove to us that they are living in Dubai, those who caught fishing without a license will be fined.

Fishing is only allowed in specific areas as authorized by Dubai Municipality. "This is to ensure the management of fishing operation and strict implementation of the Federal Law No. 23 of 1999 on the Exploitation, Protection and Development of Aquatic Resources in UAE and the Federal Law No. 24 of 1999 for the Protection and Development of Environment."

Setting up of Branch of a Free Zone Company In Mainland

The only legal alternative for Free Zone Companies wishing to carry on business in the UAE is to appoint a mainland UAE agent or to establish a mainland branch of the Free Zone Company. In both cases the local UAE agent must be a UAE national or a company wholly owned by UAE nationals. 

Both options present practical difficulties and additional expense for Free Zone entities wishing to enter the UAE marketplace.

A branch company or local agent may carry out services or sell goods on behalf of the Free Zone Company, this can be a costly and, particularly in the case of service providers, where human capital is involved, an impractical and difficult model to operate.
