Getting a liquor license in Dubai

If you need to apply for a liquor license or renew your exisiting license, it’s now easier than ever. Simply visit africaneastern.com/get-a-licence or mmiliquorlicence.com to apply online.

Tourists can now apply for a temporary liquor license in African + Eastern and MMI stores. All you need to do is present your original passport, fill out a short form and sign an official declaration to state you aren’t a UAE resident, and will obey the UAE’s rules and regulations in regards to alcohol purchase and consumption.

The store will then take a copy of your passport and entry stamp, and issue you with a guideline on responsible drinking in Dubai.
