## What the authority says

Includes firms which represent one or more insurance company/companies in dealing with the insured parties, policy buyers and insurance brokers. An establishment of that kind works for the account of the insurance company under a special contract. It represents the insurance company on the local level and is authorized to carry out business assigned to it, provided that all its acts and activities are approved by the company. It receives its remunerations from the company and not from the insur

## Routes that list this activity

- [Dubai mainland (DET)](https://dubaisetupindex.com/mainland) — Onshore trading rights, Ejari premises. From, no visa: AED 14,000 (Licence only · plus 5% of rent)

A route listing the activity is a starting point. The authority confirms eligibility when you apply.

## Free zone or mainland

- 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.

## 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 Insurance Agent 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.
