Get TDRA approval before calling
TDRA Decisions 56/2024 and 57/2024 require advance approval for outbound telemarketing campaigns, a locally registered UAE calling number, and a pre-approved call script before the first call goes out.
Vaami is an AI voice agent built for Dubai's always-on, multinational business environment — answering and making calls in Arabic and English, with outbound calling configured around TDRA's approval, script, and calling-hours requirements from the start.
Since TDRA Decisions 56/2024 and 57/2024 took effect (enforced August 27, 2024), outbound telemarketing calls in the UAE — human or AI-driven — carry specific, enforced requirements. Over 2,000 numbers have already been fined or suspended for non-compliant telemarketing.
TDRA Decisions 56/2024 and 57/2024 require advance approval for outbound telemarketing campaigns, a locally registered UAE calling number, and a pre-approved call script before the first call goes out.
Every outbound number is checked against the TDRA Do Not Call registry before dialling, and any "stop calling" request is honoured immediately, not queued for later.
Marketing and outbound calls are restricted to daytime hours under TDRA rules — Vaami enforces the calling window automatically so campaigns never dial outside it.
Every call opens by stating who is calling and why, in line with PDPL (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) consent requirements — and call recording is disclosed upfront.
This is a general overview, not legal advice — confirm your specific obligations under TDRA regulations and the UAE PDPL with qualified counsel before running an outbound calling campaign.
Dubai's workforce and customer base is famously multinational — Emirati, South Asian, Filipino, Western, and wider Gulf callers all reach the same phone line. Vaami detects whether a caller is speaking Modern Standard Arabic, Gulf Arabic dialect, or English and responds in kind, with no menu or language selection required.
Dubai's hotels, tour operators, and attractions field reservation and enquiry calls from guests across dozens of time zones. Vaami books, confirms, and answers F&B and concierge questions in the guest's own language.
Order status, delivery updates, and return requests handled around the clock — matching Dubai retail's always-on customer expectations without adding a night shift.
Appointment booking, insurance pre-authorisation questions, and specialist referrals for Dubai's multinational patient population, in Arabic, English, Hindi, or Urdu.
Vaami is fully operational for Dubai businesses specifically — local Dubai numbers can be provisioned, and outbound campaigns are configured against Dubai's own TDRA registration and calling-hours requirements, not just a generic UAE setup.
Under TDRA Decisions 56/2024 and 57/2024 (enforced from August 2024), outbound telemarketing calls need advance TDRA approval, a locally registered UAE number, a pre-approved script, screening against the Do Not Call registry, and calls restricted to permitted daytime hours. Vaami's outbound calling workflow is built around these requirements rather than treating them as an afterthought.
Vaami's data handling is aligned with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021), including explicit consent for processing personal data used in calling, purpose limitation, and subject rights. DIFC and ADGM entities have their own additional data protection regimes to confirm against.
Both. Vaami supports Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) as well as Gulf Arabic (Khaleeji) dialect, and automatically detects which the caller is using rather than requiring a menu selection.
Vaami works across Dubai's hospitality, retail, e-commerce, private healthcare, and professional services sectors. Real estate lead calling — including off-plan enquiries and developer follow-up — can also be configured for your team; talk to us if that's your primary use case.
