Freelancer Licence Update

Annual Municipality Fee — Maintenance of Your Freelancer Licence

As part of maintaining your freelancer licence and continuing your services with Dynamic Employment Services, an annual Municipality Fee of AED 750 will apply.

We understand that this is a change from the previous process of submitting an Ejari, so we want to explain what has changed and why.

What Has Changed?

Previously, as part of the licence process, freelancers could provide their Ejari (tenancy contract), which we would collect and submit as part of the required documentation.

The process has now changed. Instead of collecting and submitting an Ejari for this purpose, the applicable Municipality Fee is now payable annually.

The AED 750 fee therefore covers the applicable municipality-related requirement associated with maintaining your freelancer licence.
