 In my previous video, I was talking about how to get a freelance visa and a freelance permit. And today I want to share with you some details about the most cost-effective license for freelancers and self-employed. And it's called eTrader license. Hey guys, welcome to my channel! If this is your first time here and you would like to know more about life in Dubai, don't forget to hit subscribe button and the notification icon so you will not miss anything. Why is it the most cost-effective license? Because it costs around 1000 dirhams per year in comparison to the freelance license which costs 7500 dirhams per year. But there is a reason for that because it has certain limitations. What is eTrader license? It's a license that allows home business owners sell their products or services using social media channels and their own website. Let's say you are a photographer, freelancer, designer and you want to sell your services legally in Dubai, you can use it eTrader license. So what is the main difference between eTrader license and freelance license? You cannot apply for eTrader license if you don't live in Dubai, you don't have residence visa and you don't have Emirates ID. eTrader license doesn't allow you to apply for a visa. If you need a visa then you need to apply for a freelance permit. Next, the activities you can do under eTrader license depend on your nationality. If you are a non-GCC expat you can sell only services using this license, you can't sell products. So you can't open shop and you can do business only within Dubai, within one Emirate and you cannot apply for visas, you can't hire people. So basically it's a great option for people who have let's say full-time job, they're sponsored by their company, they have already residence visa, but they want to do some freelancing on the site. Or if you're a housewife and you want to be a fashion stylist, you want to do small business or maybe you're a graphic designer, you're a social media specialist because these professions are quite popular today. Many people are trying to do some online business so it's also a good option for you because you are sponsored by your husband. So how can you apply for this license? You can go to this website, fill out the application form, make a payment and you will get your permit within five to ten minutes. So it's extremely quick process, you can just print it out. The price for it is 1070 dirhams and you need to renew it every year. So guys, let's summarize. If you want to do some freelancing in Dubai and you have a residence visa, you can apply for e-trader license. It's the most cost effective option for you. It costs only 1070 dirhams per year. It allows you to open also bank account for your business. But if you don't have a visa and you want to be a freelancer in Dubai, you need to go for another option.
