Free zone or mainland
- Both IFZA in Dubai and Ajman Free Zone list this activity, so the choice is a Dubai licence address against a lower package cost.
- Dubai mainland under DET lets you invoice UAE mainland clients directly, but it expects Ejari-registered premises and runs longer than a free-zone desk package.
- Ajman Free Zone allows this activity only on warehouse or retail unit, so a virtual-office package will not carry it.
- IFZA (Dubai) notes: Retail Space
- IFZA (Dubai) records a premises requirement: Retail Space.

FAQ
Can I add more activities to a Shoe Repair licence later?
Usually yes, as a licence amendment, subject to the authority's rules and any extra approval attached to the new line.
Does this activity need third-party approval?
The catalogue rows we hold for this activity carry no prior-approval flag. Re-check the live authority catalogue before filing, since flags change.
