Under the licensing requirements, UAE nationals must be at least 21 years old to apply. Non-UAE nationals are required to provide a no-objection certificate issued by the competent authorities in their home country and authenticated by their country's embassy in the UAE.

The ministry urged prospective buyers to ensure they meet the licensing requirements and complete the application process through its official digital platforms ahead of the exhibition.
