The directive covers all types of filming for commercial, TV or cinema productions in Dubai. The decision will help speed up the process of issuing permissions through the Location Approval Services (LAS) department, Dubai Studio City's one stop shop services unit.
Dubai Studio City will process the approvals required from government departments. LAS will acquire the necessary approvals and permissions for production and filming on behalf of the applicant.
LAS already provides a full bouquet of enabling services including locations scouting, visa, travel, accommodation arrangements, weather reports and access to talent among others.
