Rules, simply explained
Dubai
Every short-stay home in Dubai needs a holiday-home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET): a registration, an inspection and a QR code at the door. Each guest must be registered within hours of check-in, and the Tourism Dirham is charged per bedroom per night. We work with owners who hold their own permit: the permit, guest registration and DET payments stay with you as permit holder, and we check your building's rules with you first.
We prepare the paperwork. You sign.
