What Documents Are Required to Apply for a DTCM Holiday Home License?

Dubai’s thriving tourism sector and booming real estate market make short-term rentals a lucrative investment opportunity. However, to operate a holiday home legally, you must obtain a holiday home license from the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM). A critical part of the application process is submitting the required documents. In this article, we’ll outline the essential documents needed to apply for a DTCM holiday home license, why they’re important, and how PHOREE Real Estate, with its 40 years of American wealth management expertise and AI-driven insights, can help you navigate the process seamlessly.

1. Why Documentation is Crucial for Your Holiday Home License

Ensuring Compliance

The documents required by DTCM ensure that your property meets legal and regulatory standards, including safety, security, and eligibility for short-term rentals.

Streamlining the Process

Submitting complete and accurate documentation helps expedite the application process, allowing you to start operating your holiday home sooner.

2. List of Required Documents

1. Passport or UAE ID

• Individual Owners: A copy of the property owner’s passport or UAE ID.
• Company Owners: If the property is owned by a company, include the passport or UAE ID of one of the company’s partners, along with the commercial license.

2. Title Deed

• A copy of the property’s title deed, which must indicate that the property is residential. This document proves ownership and confirms the property’s eligibility for short-term rentals.

3. No Objection Certificate (NOC)

• Obtain a NOC from the building owner or management company, confirming that they permit short-term rentals in the property. This is a critical document to ensure compliance with building regulations.

4. Proof of Address

• A recent utility bill (e.g., from Dubai Electricity and Water Authority) in the name of the owner or licensee, dated within the last three months. This document verifies the property’s address and ownership.

5. Certificate of Good Conduct

• Required for all owners, partners, and managing directors involved in operating the holiday home. This certificate ensures that all parties have a clean legal record.

6. Building Completion Certificate

• This document may be necessary to confirm that the property has been completed and is ready for occupancy. It ensures that the property meets construction and safety standards.

7. Insurance Policy

• A comprehensive insurance policy covering potential damages or liabilities during guest stays. This protects both the property owner and guests.

8. Application Form

• Complete and submit the application form through the DTCM Holiday Homes portal. Ensure all sections are filled out accurately and completely.

3. Tips for Preparing Your Documents

Organize and Verify

• Ensure all documents are up-to-date and accurate.
• Double-check that the information on your title deed, NOC, and proof of address matches.

Digital Copies

• Scan all documents in high resolution and save them in the required format (usually PDF).
• Ensure file sizes are within the portal’s limits for smooth uploading.
