Planning FAQs
When should I submit my NOC application before an office move in Dubai?
Submit the building NOC application at least 10 working days before your move date for mainland buildings, and at least 15 working days for free zone buildings like DIFC or JLT (DMCC) where an authority permit is also required. This planner calculates the exact submission date from your chosen move date.
How far ahead should I order internet for a new Dubai office?
Order your business internet line at least 4 weeks before move day. Etisalat/e& and du both require site surveys, and end-to-end activation commonly takes 7 to 14 business days, and longer in new buildings that need infrastructure checks.
What if my move date is less than 6 weeks away?
It is still possible, but the NOC and internet activation become critical-path risks. Submit the NOC on the same day you confirm the move, order internet immediately, and choose a mover who can commit in writing within 48 hours. The planner flags every deadline that is already at risk for your date.
Do weekends affect the office move timeline in Dubai?
Yes. Building management offices typically process NOC requests Monday to Friday, so a request submitted Thursday afternoon effectively loses two days. Many commercial towers also restrict physical moves to specific hours or weekend windows, so confirm your slot when the NOC is approved.
