Due to the Covid-19 outbreak we have cancelled all scheduled events until further notice and are working on ways to support the Norwegian business community digitally. 

During this time, we encourage you to get in touch with us to share your experience and ideas on how to do business in this challenging situation.

Permits during lockdown

If you are leaving the house for groceries, medical visits or work related reasons you must fill in a permit using this site; https://dxbpermit.gov.ae/permits or get a letter from your employer.

The public is required to wear face mask and gloves at all times outside your home.

If you have any queries, please call the permits hotline on 800 737648. If you cannot get through to the hotline, call the police number for non-urgent matters; 901. We urge you to carry your Emirates ID with you at all times along with other necessary documentation, such as a doctor’s note, if possible.
