Remarks / Important Notes on Application

 

Important notes:

  1. In accordance with the stipulations of Law no. 8/2005, personal information (e.g. faces, vehicle license plates) irrelevant to the application is required to be covered in site photos;
  2. Insurance is required to be in compliance with the stipulations of Decree-Law no. 40/95/M and the relevant administrative orders, with particular attention to be paid to the following:
    • IAM accepts one insurance policy only. If the project involves several implementation units, the applicant is required to purchase an appropriate insurance in compliance with the above-mentioned decree-law;
    • The policyholder has to be the project owner or the contractor / company implementing the project;  
    • Stating the nature of project (required to be consistent with the information mentioned in the application form);
    • Stating the project location (required to be consistent with the information mentioned in the application form);
    • Stating the commencement and end dates and time of the insurance policy (depending on the situation, the expiry date of the insurance policy may have to be supplemented);
    • Stating the relevant applicable laws;
    • The insurance policy cannot be a cover note.
  3. Depending on the case of application, a “declaration” giving reasons for application may have to be submitted;
  4. If the case of application requires consultation with other entities, the “time required” for processing will be relatively extended;
  5. In the application case of a newly constructed building, as it is required to be equipped with basic cables and pipelines services (water, electricity, fuel gases, telecommunications, etc.), the applicant should apply for the license to IAM after payment of service charges to the public utility companies concerned; 
  6. IAM will base on the application information (estimated date to commence work and work period), expiry date of license for works issued by the Land and Urban Construction Bureau, expiry date of temporary traffic measures and the expiry date of the insurance policy to decide the valid period of the license for works;
  7. The applicant is required to consider thoughtfully the estimated date to commence work and the work period in the license for application, and complete the work within the valid period of the license. If the work cannot be completed within the valid period of the license, the license holder has to apply for renewal of license within the valid period to IAM;
  8. The applicant has to note that obtaining the approved license for works does not mean that the work can be commenced at once. It is required to notify IAM in advance as stated in the special instruction of the license so that IAM can make arrangements for the commencement of work;
  9. The applicant has to note that if the project will affect the traffic, it is necessary to apply for “temporary traffic measures” and relevant permission timely in advance to the Transport Bureau to avoid affecting the issuing of license.
