I’m moving into my new apartment … but when?

You can come and go as you please but don't be fooled. Your personal effects (furniture, boxes etc) must get past the beady eyes of Security (which nearly all buildings in Dubai have). You need signed paperwork etc. Some take up to 5 days. Don't sign

Updated 06-July-2014  

This relates to nearly all apartments and villas so double check with the community security or office before signing any contract.

This Permit allows you to move in. If you want to move out you need another permit.

These are there for your safety. It would stop any one trying to leave with someone else’s belongings, it allows for any parking arrangements for removal trucks.

EMAAR Developments

They provide MIPs but they can take up to 5 days to organise so don’t try to move in before then.. which means you should also make sure the Tenancy Contract is dated correctly otherwise you’re paying for something you’re not getting!

Contact EMAAR CUSTOMER SERVICE on [TEL#]

Get the correct paperwork ready for EMAAR MIP Application which is:

Tenancy Contract (signed by both parties)
EJARI Registration

Myth

You don’t need to let anyone know – just turn up – I’ve given you the keys.

Fact

Don’t listen to the agents. Do your own check:

Speak to Security – if there is a reception desk they’re usually the ones to ask, if not, speak to the parking lot security.

Myth

Oh, the MIP only takes 2 hours – I’ve done it many times before. It’s easy.

Fact

As mentioned above, for Emaar developments the MIP takes 5 days. Other developments usually take less time but always double check.
