  3. Why Does One Need an Influencer Permit? The UAE has introduced various rules and regulations for social media content creators in order to make this line of work more professional and transparent. As per the National Media Council (NMC), it has been introduced to help provide a more balanced and responsible media content to protect the public from negative and harmful material. This rule is not only applicable to digital creators using Instagram, Facebook and Twitter but also extends to bloggers and vloggers. Due to this, in order to become a blogger/vlogger in the UAE, it is mandatory to obtain a permit. It is much more cost effective to obtain your influencer permit in a free zone. An influencer license in Dubai costs approximately AED 11,900. On the other hand, it costs approximately AED 5,750 in Sharjah.
