Everything on this side you can do today. Nothing here waits on a regulator, a bank or the other side.

  • Ajman Tourism hotel licence and classification — Held by the operator, not by the unit and not by us. We record it and display it; obtaining it is the hotel's own licensing, on their own timetable.Yours · Ajman Tourism
  • Record the grade you were licensed at — The Tourism Dirham is charged per occupied unit per night at a rate set by your grade. Until it is recorded here we cannot show a guest what the stay totals - the listing shows a nightly rate and says the rest is settled at the property, which loses you the booking to whoever could show a total.Yours
  • Check whether you need a TRN — You charge the 5% and you issue the tax invoice for the stay, not us - so the registration is yours, not ours. We have not confirmed where the threshold sits or how short-stay income counts toward it, so ask the Federal Tax Authority before you assume you are under it. PropDirect charges VAT on its subscription only, never on your room.We have not confirmed this step for this emirate. It is shown because it is part of the flow, not because it has been checked.Yours
  • Set up payments with Stripe — Guests pay the operator directly through Stripe. PropDirect never holds the money, and the operator issues the tax invoice for the stay.Yours
  • Price the nights, weeks and months — Hotel apartments are routinely booked by the month. A nightly rate alone prices a month at thirty times a night and simply does not compete for that enquiry.Yours
  • Guest registration with the tourism authority — Each guest's details go into the emirate's tourism system before they occupy the room - the same duty a holiday home carries, discharged by the hotel's own front desk.Yours · Ajman Tourism
  • Return the Tourism Dirham you collected — Collected per occupied unit per night from the guest, and remitted monthly - by the 15th, for the month before. Dubai issues payment orders on the 11th. We show what is outstanding and keep your reference; the return itself is filed with the authority by you.Yours
  • Checkout and turnaround — The guest checks out, housekeeping turns the room and it goes back into inventory for the next arrival. A room that cannot take one is marked out of service with the reason and the date it returns, so it stops being sold rather than being quietly missing.Yours

These move when the person or office named beside them moves. They are on the page so you can see what is happening, not so you can chase them.

  • Listing live — Room types, rates and the operator's licence shown on the listing.Your agent
  • Booking confirmed — The guest pays for the stay when they book, into your own Stripe account, and that payment confirms it. Dates, room type and rate. Tourism Dirham applies per occupied room per night, at the rate set by the property's classification.The tenant
  • Review the stay — Only the guest who stayed can write one, once, and only after checkout. That is what makes the rating on a listing worth reading.The tenant
The permit is the one that cannot be skipped

Ajman Tourism hotel licence and classification — Held by the operator, not by the unit and not by us. We record it and display it; obtaining it is the hotel's own licensing, on their own timetable. Marketing can be finished, approved and beautiful; nothing publishes until the number is on file, and it is Ajman Tourism who issues it. A submitted application is not an issued permit, and PropDirect will not show a listing on one.
