The licence you need
Every short-let unit in Jumeirah Village Circle must hold a Department of Economy and Tourism holiday-home permit, renewed annually, with each guest registered and tourism dirham collected per night. Alayan Homes handles the full filing for owners.
Building approval
Most Jumeirah Village Circle towers allow licensed holiday homes, but a handful of owners' associations restrict them. We check the building's stance before you commit — that check takes a day and saves months.
