    Download Arabic

    The ADGM Registration Authority (the “RA”) has issued a Consultation Paper to explain and seek public feedback and comments on a proposal to introduce new subordinate rules to the Commercial Permits Regulations 2024 (“Commercial Permits Regulations”) concerning temporary commercial permits, temporary activity permits, special sales and promotions permits and associated fees.  

    The proposed subordinate rules aim to enhance the existing framework under the Commercial Permits Regulations in issuing permits to strengthen consumer protection within the ADGM by ensuring that activities are correctly regulated and that temporary activities and marketing and promotional activities are conducted transparently, fairly and responsibly.

    This Consultation Paper is of interest to all licensed persons in the ADGM, their directors, officers, employees and advisors who are subject to the commercial legislation. We also welcome feedback from other stakeholders, whether based in the ADGM or beyond.

    The key features of the RA’s proposals are as follows:

    • Introducing a requirement to obtain a temporary commercial permit from the RA in order to temporarily commercially operate within ADGM for a specified amount of time;
    • Introducing a requirement to obtain a sales and promotions permit from the RA in respect of carrying out specific sales and promotions related activities within ADGM by an ADGM licensed person or a temporary commercial permit holder;
    • Introducing a requirement to obtain a temporary activity permit from the RA for certain events, entertainment, photography and speaking activities; and
    • Establishing specific conditions applicable to obtaining temporary commercial permits, temporary activity permits, or sales and promotions permits.
