UAE MEDIA (NMC) FORMATION
The UAE’s National Media Council announced three category systems in conjunction with the influencer law.
"This license is for those social media influencers who are promoting brands, businesses and products for money. However, normal media influencers who just share everyday stuff with their followers don't need a licence.”
The first category includes the “Individual Licence” for independent influencers, which will cost Dh15, 000. They would also have to acquire a separate trade license as well, which comes at an additional cost.
The second category is the “Partnership Licence” for small groups of friends or family who can set up a company together, which would also cost Dh15,000.
The third category is for influencers to sign up with official “Influencer Agencies” that are certified by the NMC. These influencers will not have to pay any licensing fees or register as a company, however the catch is that they must work exclusively with the clients of the agency and would not be allowed to acquire business independently.
National Media Council unveiled a set of regulations for electronic media which is governing all online activities including e-commerce and also revealed that influencers had to acquire independent licences in order to conduct any business and they also must to register for a separate trade licence.
