Quick answer
To renew the tourism-sector licence, prepare current licence, company and tax renewal, office and capital records, activity, staff and insurance evidence, confirm the current process with the responsible tourism, immigration, local or civil-aviation authority, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Licensed tourism agencies approaching expiry or annual compliance
- Applicants who need to renew the tourism-sector licence using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Citizenship, passport or registered tourism or aviation organization identity
- □ current licence
- □ company and tax renewal
- □ office and capital records
- □ activity, staff and insurance evidence
- □ Official tourism, immigration or CAAN application and service reference
- □ Official royalty, licence, permit or service payment receipt
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the responsible tourism, immigration, local or civil-aviation authority is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across current licence, company and tax renewal, office and capital records, activity, staff and insurance evidence.
- Check the renewal deadline and sector conditions, update company and tax records first, submit the current compliance file, and verify the renewed licence period.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched current licence, company and tax renewal, office and capital records, activity, staff and insurance evidence
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Paying a company renewal or tax fee does not automatically renew the tourism licence.

The decision point most applicants miss
Confirm whether the case is ordinary renewal, late renewal, address change, director change, suspension or licence-category expansion.
After submitting
- Check the spelling and reference number on the acknowledgement or receipt.
- Track the application only through the official portal, SMS, email, or office contact.
- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
Avoid document and payment shortcuts
Do not alter certificates, hide mismatches, upload another person's records, share passwords or OTPs, pay an unofficial personal account, or accept a promise of guaranteed approval. Use the official portal and keep payment and submission evidence.
What was verified from the official source
The official department source publishes tourism-industry, hotel, guide, mountaineering, expedition and agency notices, forms, standards and licensing information. Check Department of Tourism for the newest notice, form, service link, fee, and final instruction.
