How do we get the DIFC Move-In Permit?

Permits must be applied for via the DIFC Client Portal under the 'Property Services' tab. You will need to submit your Trade License, Tenancy Contract, and your Mover's Trade License and Insurance (PLI). Approval typically takes 1-3 working days. For third-party buildings like Index Tower, a separate NOC from the building management is required first.

What are the allowed moving hours in DIFC?

To maintain the professional atmosphere, heavy moving and drilling are strictly restricted to non-business hours. This usually means Weekdays from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM, or anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. Lobby access is often restricted during lunch hours.

Do movers need special security clearance?

Yes. DIFC security is rigorous. Your moving company must submit a list of all crew members (with Emirates ID copies) and vehicle registration details to the building security office at least 24-48 hours prior to the move to generate gate passes.

Can we get help with IT server relocation?

Absolutely. Our partners specialize in 'De-rack and Re-rack' services. They use anti-static packing, shock-proof server crates, and climate-controlled transport to ensure your critical infrastructure moves safely from your old server room to the new rack.
