Activity finder: your questions
Short answers here. Your situation may differ, so ask us before you decide.
Why does the same activity have different names and codes?
Each licensing authority publishes its own activity list. Dubai mainland and several zones use the UAE's 7-digit activity codes, while others use their own codes and wording. The finder shows each zone's official name and code side by side.
What does "approval" mean next to an activity?
Some activities need approval from another government body before or after the license is issued, for example the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority for a travel agency. We show the approving body wherever the zone publishes it; otherwise a consultant checks it for you.
Can I choose more than one activity?
Usually yes, within limits each zone sets on how many activities and which kinds can share one license. The setup planner checks which zones list all of your activities together.
How current is this list?
The official lists were checked on 3 November 2026. Authorities add and withdraw activities from time to time, so a consultant confirms the activity with the zone before you apply.
The planner matches your answers against official activity lists published by UAE licensing authorities. It is guidance, not a decision: the relevant authority decides on every license and approval.
