Can I get an e-trader license if I’m an expat living in Dubai?

The e-trader license is available only to UAE and GCC nationals. However, you can apply for a freelance permit or an e-commerce license in a free zone, which also allows you to run an online business legally. Alternatively, you can apply for a residence visa and then, once you’ve secured it, register for an e-trader license.
