## Third-party approvals

### Supreme Council of Energy

Before licence · IFZA (Dubai)

Authority’s process note: Approval must be obtained before the license issuance; this means that you will submit the license application. Once the required documents are generated in the final stage (after the license application passes the security check), we will send the documents across to apply for the approval. Contact the department through pp@dubaisce.gov.ae, required documents are: • Letter of undertaking (template attached). • TPA letter from IFZA. • Initial approval • Signed board resolution (all company members). • Passport copy of the company manager. Approval will take 8- 10 working days. Renewable every year.

## Free zone or mainland

- IFZA lists this activity; Ajman Free Zone does not carry it under the same name, so confirm the Ajman catalogue before switching lanes.
- We hold no Dubai DET record for this activity, so treat mainland as unverified here rather than unavailable.
- Supreme Council of Energy clearance is required before the licence issues, which breaks any advertised same-week timeline.

## Also catalogued elsewhere

The same activity name appears in other authority catalogues we track. This is a name match, not a legal equivalence, and Dubai Setup Index does not file in these zones.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I add more activities to a Gas Cylinders Trading 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?

Yes. Supreme Council of Energy must clear the activity before the licence issues, so build that step into your timeline.
