WHAT IS INCLUDED
What a tourism amendment covers
Amendment classification
We pin down the change first, because a tourism modification ranges from a simple record edit to an activity-class upgrade that has to clear the tourism authority before it can take effect.
Activity expansion or reduction
Tourism activities are added or scaled back on the licence, with the regulator approval each category needs secured ahead of the change.
Inbound-to-outbound upgrade
Where you are stepping up from domestic to international tourism, we run the tourism-authority review and arrange the security-deposit adjustment an outbound operation carries.
Identity and ownership changes
Business-name changes, shareholder additions or withdrawals, and management restructures are processed with the resolutions that record them properly.
Relocation handling
An office or premises move is reflected on the licence with the matching Ejari so the registered address stays accurate to where the business operates.
Updated tourism licence handover
Once approved and the fees are paid, the reissued tourism trade licence is collected carrying every cleared modification.
HOW IT WORKS
From requested change to authorised reissue
A tourism modification turns on the tourism authority's sign-off for activity and service-level changes, so the route is built around that clearance rather than around a site inspection.
01
Amendment review
The requested change is reviewed in full and the documents and approvals it needs are confirmed.
02
Preliminary approval
Initial approval is secured from the relevant authority before the main amendment is submitted.
03
Tourism-authority clearance
Where the change is regulated, the tourism authority's clearance is obtained — the gate a service-level upgrade cannot bypass.
04
MOA amendment and notarisation
Ownership or structural changes are processed through an MOA amendment and notarised where the change mandates it.
05
Final submission and fees
The complete application package is lodged and the government and tourism-authority fees settled.
06
Tourism licence reissue
The updated tourism trade licence is issued and delivered, reflecting the approved activities, classification, or ownership.
DOCUMENTATION
What a tourism amendment file needs
Current tourism licence
The existing tourism trade licence is the record each requested change is applied against.
Shareholder passport copies
Passport copies for the shareholders support the change being recorded on the licence.
Emirates ID documentation
Emirates ID copies for the relevant individuals confirm identity for the amendment.
Memorandum of Association copy
The MOA is required wherever the change touches ownership or the entity's structure.
Ejari for relocations
An Ejari certificate evidences the new registered premises whenever the business relocates.
Tourism clearance and resolution
Tourism-authority clearance, where applicable, and a board resolution where required complete the file before submission.
TIMELINES AND COST DRIVERS
Timing per change, fees, and review gates
How long each tourism change takes
Routine edits clear in a few days, while ownership changes run longer and a service-level upgrade adds time for the tourism authority's own review.
- Activity addition: 2-4 business days
- Location or address change: 2-5 business days
- Shareholder or organisational change: 4-8 business days
What the modification fee turns on
The total follows the nature and scope of the change, the government and tourism-authority fee structure, notarisation where the MOA is amended, and any relocation or deposit adjustment.
- Change scope and authority fees
- Notarisation for MOA amendments
- Outbound security-deposit adjustment
What a stale licence risks
Carrying out-of-date tourism details invites monetary penalties, a temporary halt to operations, visa-processing complications, and regulatory enforcement.
- Monetary penalties
- Temporary operational cessation
- Visa-processing complications
