Most Event Management Professionals are currently linked to Free Zone visas or Free zone licenses. Also, most of these entities that provide such visas in the UAE do not have the required approval from the Government entities. The licenses also do not match the required activities to practice this trade.
For example, it is important that all event management professionals must hold the designation and qualifications relevant to the services and event industry they wish to target. Therefore, the company issuing the visas must hold activities specific to their services. For example, Exhibition organising or Artistic talent contracting, Event management, Seminar and conferences, and any other specific activities linked to the event industry.
It is also important to have a visa linked to an onshore license and not a free zone license. This is because a visa under labour allows you to operate anywhere whether onshore and offshore. Of course, this is as long as you meet all regulatory and UAE labour requirements.

As a certified event professional, ACT EVENT is here to ensure you can practice your trade with no hiccups. Hence, we will let you concentrate on your core business, while we provide you with additional support.
