How can businesses obtain a night work permit in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and what documents are needed?

In both emirates, companies needing staff to work between 9pm and 6am for tasks like inventory checks, maintenance, or filming must secure a night work permit to ensure legal compliance and worker safety. In Dubai, permits—valid for up to 14 days—can be obtained in one day via Dubai Police’s digital channels by submitting business licenses, Emirates IDs, and detailed work info; fees total Dh120. Abu Dhabi’s permit is free and issued in four hours, requiring official letters, valid IDs, commercial licenses, and, where applicable, a Central Bank NOC.
