Getting an alcohol licence in Dubai is easy if you have your residence permit already.

You'll need the following:

copy of residence permit and passport
copy of contract from Ministry of Labour (you'll need to earn more than 3000 dirhams per month
copy of your leasing agreement
passport photo
application fee

You can pick up an application from any of the A&E liquor stores, or from the MMI (Maritime and Mercantile Association). Processing time is usually about two weeks and then the licence is good for a year.
