What is a GEA Permit?

A GEA permit is an official license issued by the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) in Saudi Arabia. This permit is mandatory for organizing both public and private entertainment events across the Kingdom.
GEA permits are required for events such as:
-
Concerts and music festivals

Cultural and artistic performances
-
DJ nights and live music shows
-
Celebrity appearances and special guest events
