The Dubai World Trade Centre has launched home-based business licence packages in Expo Village, its residential community at Expo City Dubai.

The new packages are designed to meet the needs of the growing entrepreneurial community in Dubai, serving new business owners, startups, entrepreneurs and SMEs.

The packages allow them to obtain a commercial licence from Dubai World Trade Centre’s free zone, along with work permits, based on a residential lease without the costs of a dedicated office rental.

The work-from-home packages have been developed to align with the growing global trend towards flexible working systems.

They meet the needs of entrepreneurs seeking a more diverse approach to starting businesses and establishing new companies.

There are currently four Expo Village packages, all of which include membership at the Expo Village Co-Working Hub.

UAE: Marriage Grants Regulations Under Review

23/05/202423/05/2024
by Tanya Jain

Emaratalyoum, 16 May 2024: A parliamentary report, recently endorsed by the Federal National Council, has proposed that the Community Development Ministry conduct a thorough and contemporary governmental study.

The aim is to reassess the maximum salary cap for citizens seeking a marriage grant, currently set at 25,000 dirhams after accounting for housing and pension allowances, if applicable.

The report has emphasised that the requirement of linking marriage grants to a citizen’s income level or salary ceiling restricts eligibility to individuals without higher academic degrees.

It fails to benefit those with higher academic qualifications and positions.

The report, prepared by the Council’s Social Affairs, Labour, Population, and Human Resources Committee, has highlighted the key requirements for obtaining a marriage grant.

These include citizenship for both the beneficiary and their spouse, as well as the inability to afford marriage expenses, targeting individuals with limited income or those benefiting from social assistance.

However, the report underscores that this condition narrows the scope of citizens eligible for marriage grants, as it excludes many young individuals in need of such support, despite not falling under the definition of “people with limited income” or beneficiaries of social assistance.

Emaratalyoum, 20 May 2024: The Dubai Government Human Resources Department has issued Dubai Decision 1/2024, which approves the grievances and complaints system for the military departments in Dubai.

This includes specifically organising the timelines for submitting a grievance or complaint.

The decision aims to raise the level of performance of the committees’ work and align their indicators with government indicators and those of the Central Committee.

The objectives of the decision also include ensuring proper implementation of the provisions of current legislation and compliance with set limits.

It also aims to address any complaints from affiliates by providing an optimal environment within the department and reducing the need to resort to the Central Committee.
