PMO NOC in Dubai: the PMO OnePermit for works in Mira Oasis
A PMO NOC in Dubai usually means the PMO OnePermit: the permit that allows your contractor to work on site in Mira Oasis 1, 2 and 3 and issues the gate pass. It comes after the Al Aryam NOC, and major modifications also need the DDA permit. We manage all three for you.
The short answer
In Mira Oasis 1, 2 and 3, modification works go through three approvals. First, the Al Aryam NOC, which is mandatory for any modification in Mira and Mira Oasis. Second, for major modifications such as extensions and structural changes, the Dubai Development Authority (DDA) permit. Third, the PMO OnePermit, which allows your contractor to carry out the works on site and issues the gate pass. Without the PMO permit, the contractor cannot start.

Questions
PMO NOC in Dubai: questions
What is a PMO NOC in Dubai?
People usually mean the PMO OnePermit: the work permit that lets your contractor carry out works on site and get the gate pass. In Mira Oasis 1, 2 and 3 it is issued through PMO's OnePermit portal.
What is PMO?
PMO Consultancy is a project and community management consultancy with its own office in Dubai. It manages the work permits for Mira Oasis 1, 2 and 3.
What is PMO OnePermit?
OnePermit is PMO's online portal for property modification works. The request is registered there and, once approved, the contractor can work on site and receives the gate pass.
Which communities does PMO cover?
At the moment, Mira Oasis 1, 2 and 3. For other communities, the developer or community management issues its own permits.
Is the PMO permit the same as the Al Aryam NOC?
No. The Al Aryam NOC approves the modification itself and is mandatory for works in Mira and Mira Oasis. The PMO OnePermit allows the contractor onto site to carry out the approved works.
Do I need the Al Aryam NOC before the PMO permit?
Yes. The Al Aryam NOC approves what you want to build; the PMO permit then allows the works to start on site.
Do I need a DDA permit as well?
For major modifications, yes. Extensions, structural changes and similar works need the Dubai Development Authority (DDA) permit in addition to the Al Aryam NOC.
What is a gate pass?
The pass that lets your contractor's team and vehicles into the community for the works. It comes with the PMO OnePermit.
Can my contractor start work without the PMO permit?
No. Without the PMO OnePermit the contractor cannot work on site or get the gate pass.
Who applies on PMO OnePermit?
The request is registered on the OnePermit portal with the owner's and contractor's details. We help you prepare the documents and manage the process.
Which works need a PMO permit?
Any modification works carried out on site in Mira Oasis 1, 2 and 3, from small exterior works to extensions. We check your scope and tell you exactly what it needs.
What documents are needed?
Usually the title deed, owner's passport or Emirates ID, the approved Al Aryam NOC, the approved drawings and the contractor's trade licence. We confirm the list for your scope.
Does a tenant need the owner's consent?
Yes. A tenant needs the landlord's written consent before applying for any NOC or permit.
What happens if works start without approval?
Works can be stopped and may have to be regularised or removed. We prepare as-built drawings and apply to clear it.
Do you work for PMO?
No. Structural Solutions is an independent engineering consultancy. We prepare the drawings and calculations and manage the Al Aryam, DDA and PMO steps for the owner.
