About The Permit

The UAE Media Council has issued a new system for individuals who engage in advertising activities on social media platforms, whether for financial compensation or not.

Under the new system, visiting content creators must apply for a "Visiting Advertiser Permit." Registration as a visiting advertiser must be completed through a licensed advertising agency or talent management agency authorized to operate in the UAE and approved by the Council.

The validity of a Visiting Advertiser Permit is up to 3 months and may be extended for an additional similar period.
