GUIDE

Does my moving company need approval to enter the building?

By JJay Ellis ·Checked against official sources· Updated October 2026Follow @getsetl.ae

Request the exact checklist and share it with your movers. Management may require the company’s trade licence, crew identification, vehicle details and arrival time. Confirm truck-height restrictions, the loading entrance and designated unloading area.

Make sure the movers’ access approval matches your moving date, permitted hours and service-lift reservation. If the crew or vehicle changes, check whether management needs updated details. Obtain written confirmation before moving day and give your movers the security check-in instructions.
