It depends to be honest. If you’re planning commercial or corporate video a permit maybe required but depends. Feature films, TV shows or sensitive documentaries will probably need a permit and will actually be helpful in the long run as it opens a lot of doors.

Filming permits are issued by a specific government office. Normally you will apply through EM Productions but here is a list of things we would need:

• A completed filming permit application
• A script or content summary and then translated and notarized by an official
• Government notary for that country.
• A detailed filming schedule and location list
• Passport scans for all foreign crew
• A full list of equipment to be imported

Processing usually takes about 20-45 working days.

Costs depend on the type and scale of the production. They can include:

• Content review fees and translations
• Filming permit application fees
• A government-assigned film officer (required to be present during shoots in some countries)
• Press visa fees for foreign crew

To apply, you’ll need:

• Drone model and serial number
• Flight area coordinates
• Schedule, location, and purpose of use

Applications are submitted to the correct departments and usually take 14-35 working days to process.
Operating drones without a permit can result in fines or confiscation of equipment and even prison time.
