DED e-trader license:
is the most cost-effective license you can get in the Emirates.
It is suitable for self-employed people, freelancers and stay at home people, however it is not suitable for everyone and any activity – it depends on multiple factors, mainly on the business activity and also there are some restrictions that you might not be aware of.
That’s why, below, we want to bring some clarity on what exactly is a DED e-trader license and more importantly what it isn’t.
Called e-trader, meaning “online trading”, this platform was not created initially with openness for foreigners registration. The DED e-trader license was initially available for UAE and GCC nationals and included a lot of options: professional, services and also trading – such as fashion trading, electronics trading, manufacturing trading, all sorts of trading activities – “trading” meaning buy-sell of goods which has been available to the UAE and GCC nationals in the past. ded freelance license
In 2018, DED e-trader was made available by the Dubai Economic Development (DED) in Dubai for the foreigners (expats that are non GCC and non UAE nationals) but without the trading part, because the commercial companies law till date requires a commercial and industrial activity to have a 51% nominal or active UAE national shareholder.
The DED e-trader license at the moment is an online platform that gives you a mainland license with a 100% foreign ownership for services and professional activities only.
You cannot take a DED e-trader license and practice a commercial activity or buy in wholesale and sell retail, buying items, repurposing them and selling them. It is allowing people to provide, let’s say – handicraft workshop services such us (imitation jewelry smithing, creating a sculpture, producing arts – such as paintings, frames, engraving different types of products to personalize them), but it does not allow you to sell with those goods (specifically to buy them from producers or wholesalers and retail them).
DED e-trader license it’s called “e-trader”, but it does not have trading and commercial activities available for foreign expatriates (non GCC and non UAE nationals).
A lot of people will debate, but DED e-trader says “I can sell my handicrafts” which is true, but it means that you have to produce that handicraft from scratch yourself (you will take the clay – you will make out of it a sculpture and you sell the sculpture; you will take a textile of whatever nature – you will tailor it and make one custom made to the person tailored dress or crocheted item and then sell it via social media platforms or directly on delivery).
But you have to do it 100% with your own hands as a handicrafted item. You cannot sublease these services further. The DED e-trader is an online license, with a 100% foreign ownership, for professional and services activities only, that allows you to have a mainland license without limitations of operations within Dubai, but it does not allow to have a commercial activity under it.
Kellie: for example: I am a photographer, with my own camera and I take a photo, can I sell it to you?
There are 2 types of activities in the photography industry on the DED e-trader platform available for foreigners: one is Commercial Photographs Production and the other one is Consumer Photographs Production.
So, if you are taking the Commercial Photographs Production activity and you are making those photos with your ownership, you are allowed to sell the rights of those images to third parties, but you have to have produced them and of course you have to make sure that those photos do not reflect areas of the city (that are regulated by the government rights). For example you take a photo with Burj Al Arab and sell it with your own rights – which is unfortunately not allowed due to the symbol of the building itself.
Kellie: But we’ve seen so many pictures with brides and grooms in front of the Burj Al Arab or Burj Khalifa.
“Selling the item” and “Providing the service” has to be separated.
On Commercial Photographs Production you are shooting photos and you are giving the rights to people to buy those photos and use them in media, newspapers, magazines, online, websites, etc.
Standalone points of the country that are regulated by the Tourism Department are not to be taken.
Taking a photo as a service, and now we are moving to the other activity which is Consumer Photographs Production – in that instance the photographer is not the owner of the picture, I am the owner of that photo as the groom or the bride and I pay for the services, not for the photos. So, the photographer does not keep the ownership in front of the law as a product and does not keep ownership over images when they are done on an event (wedding, party, entertainment event, etc.).
Kellie: So basically, with a DED e-trader license you can take a photo of me on my wedding day in front of Burj Al Arab – I pay you for those services of being my wedding photographer, I then own those photographs?
Yes!
Kellie: Brilliant!
What about fitness activities?
Anything regarding sport professionals such as nutritionist, fitness personal trainers, yoga/pilates instructors, swimming classes and so on and so forth are now regulated by the General Authority of Youth and Sports Welfare, and unfortunately no sport activity is allowed on the DED e-trader platform for foreigners. For UAE nationals is different and they do have some activities available to them, but for expatriates of non GCC and non UAE nationality – no sport activity is allowed under the DED e-trader.
All sport activities are regulated by the General Authority of Youth and Sports Welfare and people who want to operate, must obtain the relevant permits due to being a highly regulated activity.
Kellie: What about business consulting? It depends on the activities, and is it similar to what you just said regarding the coaching activities? General advice rather than bespoke/personalized advice??
Depends on the industry, with consulting in general – the consultancy activity especially in Dubai is seen as regulated and whoever takes any type of consultancy services license needs to pass an exam in the American University in Dubai, which is a general 75 questions exam proving general knowledge of economics.
In order for you to be a consultant for HR, marketing, business development – you need to prove to the authorities that you have the expertise, the knowledge, the diploma, the studies and professional experience to become a consultant in that field.
When we use the word “consultancy” as itself management consultancy or marketing consultancy – it is a regulated industry and it is not available in the DED e-trader license because it requires the side approvals.
But when we look from the execution point of view – if you are for example a project manager – does this include that throughout managing that project you can advise the client on how to make it better, how to implement it and help them implement it? Of course, yes. And Project Management activity is available under the DED e-trader license –
but you’re seen more as an executor, you are managing that project and throughout managing that project (talking in general) of course with exceptions of regulated projects (medical, construction, engineering or oil) talking about (for example) – event industry or any other industry that has overall projects of development – were you can participate and give advice, but you are not officially a consultant – you are an executor of the project with your knowledge and expertise as well.
Also marketing services – that is an activity available or marketing management available under the DED e-trader platform – you are managing a company’s marketing presence, offline as well as online presence – this does not mean that you cannot advice the client out of your expertise how to improve that marketing platform of structure, but it means that you cannot position yourself as a consultant and charge for consultancy fees.
The consultancy or the advice comes as a part of your management of their marketing platforms – so this is how it’s seen in the activities.
Kellie: How many activities are available now on the DED e-trader platform?
Around 3000 at the moment
Kellie: I think it’s important to point out also, if you are entitled with the DED e-trader license – how may categories can you get under one license?
As per the general rule in the UAE, specifically in Dubai in the DED you can have up to 10 activities part of the same category. That’s applicable to any type of DED license. In the DED e-trader license, some categories do not even have the opening to 10 activities of that category. An example: you took in the DED e-trader the activity called separate professional activities – that has only 3 activities available in that category under DED e-trader, but it has hundreds of them in a usual licensing platform. So, given the fact that you have the availability of multiple activities, then you can take up to 10 activities part of the same group.
If we look at marketing – we have marketing management, PR, marketing through social media, portal, blogging, website content provider, etc. – so you can add up to 10 activities under the same cost that are part of the same category. You cannot combine under the same DED e-trader license different categories (for example: combining conference organizing and imitation jewelry smithing) as they are 2 separate categories and 2 individual DED e-trader licenses for each separate category must be taken.
Kellie: Can we add more than 10 activities under the same license? Do we have to pay for each additional activity?
Currently in the DED e-trader platform, if you want to change from one category to another, it is the modification fee that you have to pay for.
More than 10 activities under one license though it is not possible at the moment. A duplication of activities is not allowed under the DED e-trader platform – example: you have one portal activity called “Female Fusion” and another portal called “Happiness” – both portals, both owned by the same person. It is allowed to have 2 separate activities, example: one “portal” activity called “Female Fusion” and another activity “imitation jewelry smithing” (both different and separate activities) that can have the same name or different.
Kellie: Is the DED e-trader covering only Dubai or is available all over UAE?
As per the commercial company’s law that regulates at the federal level the operations of a commercial entity – DED e-trader is a license from Dubai Mainland and by general rule any company should operate within the emirate where the license is from.
So if you officially would like to operate in any other emirate, then legally you should have a license from that specific emirate for that scope of work.
Kellie: Going back to the marketing and social media activity, blog content, etc. does it include influencers as well or this is a regulated activity by the National Media Council and the license will cost more?
Influencer’s activity is seen as a freelance individual structure which does not come under the DED e-trader platform, because they receive income not from the handicraft or their own skills, but from selling media exposure. That is a separate category which is not covered by the DED e-trader platform and they have to be of course licensed with National Media Council as well as get the relevant freelance permits.
Kellie: What about web development? Does it come under the DED e-trader platform?
Yes, website design, web pages content, graphic design of the website are the activities available under the DED e-trader platform.
Kellie: Pet trading? Is is included in the DED e-trader?
Anything animal related activity is regulated by the Animal Welfare Department either by the municipality or MOCCAE which is UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. The training activity itself exists in the DED systems and platforms, but it doesn’t exist in the DED e-trader platform unfortunately, because the person who would become a trainer have to show qualifications and knowledge of handling animals.
Let’s summarize the DED e-trader in 3 general questions that everyone can ask themselves before deciding to get the license:
- Do you think it is mandatory to have studies, to have some experience or just anybody can just start and from tomorrow provide that service?
We are not talking about the skill set, we are talking about the consultancy, advisory and management. So, if worldwide your activity is “trainer” (to be a trainer you need to be licensed even abroad, you need to have a relevant degree) – it needs to have a qualification and a regulated license as well. It has to be approved by the government, it has to be verified and it cannot be a license issued online in 5 minutes with a click of a button.
2. Can I provide this service 100% by myself or can I produce this product from scratch 100% by myself? Or do I need to subcontract parties or sublease some of the services or part of the product or process? If you answer yes – I can produce it from scratch and repurpose it 100% – for example: buying clay and selling a sculpture out of it in any type of handicraft, then yes.
The license is for you if you can do it 100% and you repurpose the item, not just improve it.
3. Third question, very common one – mostly related to the operational side, would I need to get employees and grow the business and get a visa or not – immediately (talking about short term)? DED e-trader license does not offer visas, if you do need employees under this license – let’s say 3,5 months, half a year or short term – this is not the right license for you.
You cannot sponsor anybody under the DED e-trader license – it’s a 100% based on your residency.
Ask yourself at least these 3 questions, if they make sense to you, then you’d know if this license is suitable for you.
Kellie: Can I subcontract part of my business?
Once again, is what the client is paying you for. If your client pays you for the design services, the activity is available under the DED e-trader platform and you are just charging for the design. The item itself that it’s been produced by a tailor-shop of a manufacturing line is actually sold by the tailor-shop or manufacturing line to the client. So, you are not selling the item, you are providing the service of designing.
Or you are creating the design of the business card, but then the printing press is going to sell the business cards printed (as a final product). Same for the clothes – I’m creating the design of it, and you are buying the service of the creativity of that design, and then putting specimens and specifics in place, but then the item itself is being sold by the producer (manufacturing line or the tailor-shop). If I’m selling you an already made garment made by that producer, it means I’m not selling you the design, I’m selling you the ready-made dress, even though I designed it, you are paying me for the dress – so that’s a trading experience then.
Kellie: There was another example – selling diaper cakes or gift baskets? By taking the products from elsewhere and putting them together into your gift or diaper cake – meaning that you are trading in diapers then/you are trading in goods and not actually selling a service..
Ok, let’s take it this way – when I’m invoicing you as a client, I’ve made the cake out of diapers – in that invoice do I charge you only for the hourly rate for making the cake, or do I charge the value of the diapers plus the effort? So, you have the value of the diapers, it means I’m selling the diapers along with the time I’ve taken to put it into a cake or make that beautiful decoration,
so in that instance I’m trading with the good itself. You have gift basket – you’ve assembled it with some glitter, flowers and some chocolate and some glue, scissors, etc. – have I produced that glue and scissor from scratch, from zero? If not, it means I’m taking ready made goods and I’m selling them, but I’m just adding on top efforts of making it look good or rearranging it. In that instance, it is a trading activity.
Kellie: Which categorically does not come under the DED e-trader license?
No
Kellie: Expanding on the tailoring example, if I want to design and stitch the dress and sell it to you, would that be allowed?
How about we do a crocheted hat, I’m going to buy the thread, and the thread itself will cost me roughly 4 AED. Then I make it into a crocheted hat and I’m going to sell it for 35 AED (for example). Why? Because it’s the time, the effort and the final product that has to be used. I’m not selling it as a thread. I’ve made it 100% by myself, the final product was created from scratch 100% by me. It’s the same with the dress: I took a piece of material, I didn’t sell it as a piece of material. Like I took a diaper, I sell it as a diaper? I stitched the dress, I rearranged it, I added buttons, I hand-crafted it with my own hands, and that dress can be sold under the DED e-trader license.
From this aspect the DED e-trader license is so affordable, because the government understands that only you as a person do 100% of the work (which is not as easy and as fast as a manufactory or a company with many employees – for example).
How many pieces physically per day they can create? Are they going to create 100,000 pieces per day? Obviously not!
It’s obviously a low volume of selling your own handmade goods.
Another example, I’m buying a hat from Bali, I’m just adding a decoration to it or personalize it and then sell it. In this case it is trading. Only if I produce those hats myself from scratch and then sell them, I’m allowed to be under the DED e-trader platform.
A simple example on the personalization on the DED e-trader is the engraving services which are available, but then trading with gift goods is not available. So, you can have your pen, give it to me, I’ll engrave it and charge you for it and I’ll give you your pen back, but I’m not allowed to sell you a pen with the engraving on it.
Kellie: What about personalized items: t-shirts, coffee mugs, cushions etc. – can I sell a t-shirt with my design on it and be licensed under the DED e-trader license?
No
Kellie: But I’ve made it myself
Yes, but you’re in need of the coffee mug, t-shirt or printing service. Under the DED e-trader platform you can’t sell the personalized coffee mug, t-shirt or cushion, but you can provide the service of the personalization design itself.
You are allowed to sell them as products only if you stitched the t-shirt, created the mug from scratch and painted them with your own hand.
Kellie: Are bank accounts allowed under DED e-trader license?
Provision of the law says that DED e-trader license is a business license and nobody says you’re not allowed to have a DED e-trader business bank account. But it is at the discretion of the compliance team at the bank to see if you are a high risk or low risk business model, if you are showing proof of funds and secure the continuity of the business. Also, it is not illegal to have a DED e-trader license and operate from your own private bank account, given that you are the 100% owner and sole liable for that license, the only concern you have to have is of course the bank account that services your private bank account permitting to operate commercially from that bank account. Some banks allow you to have a commercial operation and some don’t.
!!! RECENT UPDATES from the DED: The coaching activity has been suspended recently from the DED e-trader & Instant license platforms, therefore it’s no longer available.
We hope that the above information and details gave you a better understanding of what the DED e-trader license is and clarified some of the questions you probably had around it.

Good morning ladies, do you know whether this ESR (Economic Substance Regulations) form – which apparently needs to be addressed by all businesses in the UAE, mainland & free zone by 30.6.20 – is applicable to the holders of a DED etrader licence? The licence from the DED Cafe, not the full DED licence? I can’t find an answer to this question anywhere.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Best regards,
Evelyn
Dear Evelyn, thank you for your question.
According to “The UAE Economic Substance Regulations” the regulation is applicable to businesses that carry out a “relevant activity”. The list of relevant activities along with other guides can be found here https://www.mof.gov.ae/en/StrategicPartnerships/Pages/ESR.aspx
Unfortunately, this is not our area of lead advising permitted and we cannot confirm whether activities under the DED e-trader license do/do not come under the ESR regulation. We can introduce you to our legal partner, should you require further legal advice.
Feel free to send us an email at hello@bizzmosis.com for further assistance and support.

Hello,
Thank you for this detailed post, it clarifies a lot of things. However, I do have one doubt – I purchase handbags and handpaint them with my own designs or customize them for a particular order. I do not sell non-painted bags, but I don’t make the bags myself.
I also intend to take shoe-painting & bag-painting workshops with all materials included from my side.
Am I eligible for the DED e-trader license? If yes, could you help me with the category? And if not, what kind of license is applicable for something like this?
Thank you!
Dear Mansi, thank you for your message and feedback. DED e-trader license unfortunately is not applicable for your type of business. The DED e-trader will be applicable if the shoes/bags would be made from scratch (from zero) and then painted…
Somebody from our team shall get in touch with you and advice further what type of license you would need.
Kind regards

Hi, thanks very much for all the info.
I have a question related to selling the items. I would like to make kids toys, I see them from fabric or crochet them. All made by me. My question is, can I sell them through shopify or etsy or any other webdite/marketplace?
Please let me know.
Many thanks
Dear Andrea White,
Thank you for approaching us and trusting in our expertise.
Yes, DED Etrader allows making handicraft items from scratch with materials sourced locally and sell these handmade items only on any platforms.
However, kids toys are regulated by Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology, hence your products require registration from the said Authority.
Should you require additional information and assistance, please feel free to approach us on hello@bizzmosis.com.

Hi,
This article was definitely informative and very helpful!
Was wondering… what about homemade bread and cakes to order? Can I apply for this DED e-trader licence (it’s like offering a baking service)?
Dear Feliz, thank you for your feedback and question.
Catering and food preparation is a highly regulated activity and requires commercial premises. Preparing food at home is not permitted under the UAE commercial law. DED e-trader license unfortunately doesn’t cover this activity, even though it is 100% handmade.
We remain at your availability and happy to advice you further, should you be interested in establishing such business under the correct license.
Feel free to send us an email to hello@bizzmosis.com should you have further questions or need any support.
Kind regards
Hi, It’s an informative article but I have a question If I make pet clothes, should this TL will be good for me?
Glad you found this article informative and useful! Unfortunately pet clothes tailoring and handcrafting does not come under the DED e-trader.

Feel free to send us an email at hello@bizzmosis.com should you have any additional questions or need any further support and guidance.

Also on another note, my sister (GCC national as well) is considering starting a home catering business and selling online…what category or activity would she be considered under?

Good afternoon Blinky,
Thank you for your inquiry and kind feedback.
Please note, in order to operate trading/commercial activities in the UAE, you have 2 options:
· A trade Mainland license (complete license) with a UAE local sponsor which will have a 51% stake of the company – that will allow you to have no limitation within the UAE market;
· A Freezone license that will restrict you to that specific Freezone, otherwise a UAE local distributor must be appointed to be able to trade on the Mainland.
The total cost will depend on various factors and we would need more details about your business model to be able to advice more specifically. Feel free to send us an email at hello@bizzmosis.com and we will gladly assist you.
Kind regards

Good morning Aditya,
One of our consultancy team will contact you shortly regarding your inquiry?
Thank you for contacting Bizzmosis.
Hello Aditya, I’d like to know the feedback you received regarding your question 1 above.
Hello Aditya,
Could you tell me the reply you got from this question?
I am interested as well.
Thanks.
Dear Nenncha,
thank you for your comment.
In response to your question addressed to Aditya, it depends on the target market hence the license jurisdiction rules will apply accordingly – free zone or mainland.
As for print on demand, we need to have more details of which exactly items will be printed.
Under e trader license, affiliate marketing and dropshipping will not be covered, as for print on demand we need to know more details on which exactly items will be printed. For example, T-Shirts printing won’t be allowed under the said license, however, greeting cards can be done.
So, to advise fully and according to your specific requirements, we would be happy to arrange a consultation.
Please feel free to approach us on hello@bizzmosis.com for further advice.
Look forward to being of help!
This is by far the most informative article i read on this subject! Many thanks.
I have a question regarding Drop Shipping. What if you want to start a dropshipping store but you won’t be selling to customers in UAE. Would this type of license work for this?
Good morning Sara,
Thank you for your feedback.
DED e-trader does not allow trading/commercial activities under it, hence an e-commerce/trading license will be required in this case…
If you do have any further questions or need more clarity on the above, please do let me know and I’ll introduce you to one of our licensing experts and they can explain what options you have and the costs involved.
Kind regards

Hi!
I want to start selling (retail) jewelry online, would that be covered in an e trader’s license? Also, I am a 14 year old but the age min. age requirement for application is 18 years, so can I get6 my parents to register or something? please help
kind regards,
suhani
Dear Suhani, Thank you for your comment.
Please note that DED e-trader license does not allow trading/commercial activities under it, unless the jewelry will be done by you 100% from scratch materials.
According to the UAE Law, license holders must be above 21 years old. Operating under another license name is illegal in the UAE.
Should you have any further questions, feel free to send us an email at hello@bizzmosis.com.

Hello,
I read that crochet, macrame and similar handicrafts is covered under the DED e-trader license, if I want to offer gift wrapping services under this license, will that be allowed?
I plan to offer sustainable gift wrapping as an additional option too, but I will buy materials like cloth, jute, ribbons, etc.
Thank you!

Hi there . First of all thanks a lot for such information which is hard to find..
I am an artist but never sold any works of mine till now as I am working for a company.
My 1st query is, if I want to sell my paintings through online platforms like Etsy, Art platforms, and also on my own website (I will get my website created as well once I get clarity) Can I do these through e-trading license from Dubai? upon selling any of paintings, will be required to pay VAT?
2nd query, Do I need to have an NOC from my existing company who is my sponsor in UAE for this? If yes, then I am sure they will not give an NOC, therefore shall I opt for a UAE resident visa on my own as well? Should it be a freelance visa for Artists?
Thanks so much and I look forward for your reply as these processes are extremely confusing and less clear especially for artists..

Good Morning, thank-you for this very informative and helpful article. I am planing to create crafts from home. It is very similar to the example used regarding buying clay and making a sculpture. My question : with an E trader license can I participate in the local community markets or am I limited to only selling my product online ? Also I am based in Dubai can I send orders to another Emirate ? Thank you

Hi Bizzmosis,
This article is very informative and helpful, especially at this time of the pandemic. You can earn extra by selling your own homemade goods online, legally!
But I’d like to ask one more thing.. is DED E-trader license applicable for affiliate marketing..? Cuz basically affiliate marketing does not require buying or selling goods, it is simply earning commissions by promoting products of other people or companies. If it’s not, what could be the appropriate license to acquire for this type of side income..?
Dear Honey,
thank you for your warm feedback. For us to guide you further, an email with some questions for clarification has been sent.
Happy to be of help!

Great article ! It answers a lot of questions I had.
I am founder of the brand KAZARTT: https://www.kazartt.com
I used to sell them in Europe but now that I moved to UAE, I would like to continue this activity here.
I don’t need any visa as I already have mine. So my idea is to be able to purchase my products from Spain and resell them in this region. Could you confirm that this is possible ? Can I sell them via other platforms such as Amazon / noon / … ?
Also, as per the article, I understand that selling in Europe won’t be allowed. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Guillaume
Dear Guillaume Loiseau,
Thank you for your kind feedback.

Hi – this a great article. I’ve been in touch with the DED as I want to host small sugar craft workshops in a space in a cafe or restaurant. They said I can have a licence to hold workshops but will need a food permit from Dubai Municipality. Ive contacted DM and they have sent me round in circles. Do you have any experience with this type of activity that you could share please.
Dear Kate,

Thanks to the team for such a well written and detailed article. Cleared most of the questions. But still confused about art products. I make mostly products from scratch like coasters, trays. etc out of Resin (which is in liquid form and I add colors, fillers and allow it to cure). Will this license work for that? Is yes, where can I trade, only online? Or at markets like arte and ripe market?

Dear Nenncha,
E Trader license is indeed a great opportunity launched by a government for home based start ups who wish to monetize their hobby and later on develop it in a main source of income.
The license covers only non regulated activities (handicrafts, professional and services activities). Affiliate marketing where you increase traffic to your different social media pages, which is done through various marketing tools. Such activity is regulated by National Media Council authority and requires full company set up with office requirement.

Good Afternoon,
I have a question regarding Jewelry. We started making wire wrapped Jewelry as a hobby and it has turned in to so much more. Would the E Trader license cover our small home based handmade custom pieces for sale online and/or say at the Ripe/Arte Markets for example . for example I take raw wires , and say a rose quartz stone . I then spend hours designing, creating weaving, coiling and working the wire to create a beautiful designed pendant or earrings etc. Would this license cover the sales of these items At markets, online and trough IG/Facebook?
Thank you for your assistance and advice
Best Regards,
CJ
Dear CJ,

I would like to get the DED e-trader license, to sell my own crafts. My visa is sponsored by my parent (I’m a foreigner), on the visa it says ‘profession: student / not allowed to work.’ I assume this is the same for anyone who is sponsored by family. Does this mean I cannot stay on this visa? What if I want to get a freelance or a business license later, will I need to change this visa?

Thank you for the all the great detailed info regarding the DED E-trading license. I have a question though that I am confused about.
For a freelance musician artist (who is currently not holding a freelance license) but holds a Golden Visa – are they allowed to continue providing their services by playing music for entertainment purposes in venues around Dubai?
If not, bearing in mind that the artist promotes their services on social media platforms, does the DED E-trade license allow the artist to provide their services and what category would it be under?
And if so, does the DED E-trading license issue necessary paperwork when applying for a Schengen Visa for instance.
Visa applications require proof of income as either Salary and NOC letters which is difficult to some freelancers.
That is my main reason for applying for this license. How can I solve these issues through the DED E-trading license.
Dear Maisa,
Thank you for contacting us and trusting our expertise.
We would be glad to be of help and advise you regarding your inquiry.
A golden visa is your residency only and does not permit you to carry out any kind of paid or unpaid business transactions or work. You would need to obtain a license for the same. The DED Trader license does not have any activity related to your profession but a freelance Musician permit might be suitable for you.
