As per the UAE law non-Muslims can apply for the liquor permit. If you are a residence visa holder of Dubai, contact the Ministry of Interior. The office is located under the criminal investigation department close to Dubai Sharjah road, near to the Deira Traffic.

Liquor permits are issued by the police departments in all emirates to non -Muslims ages 21 and over who fulfil the minimum salary requirements.
The permit or licence, valid for a year, allows the holder to buy a certain amount of alcohol per month. Purchases from retailers that do not have official approval are illegal.
In Dbai, licences can be applied for at police headquarters or any branch of retalers MMI or A&E whch sell alcohol.
Bring along the competed application form - forms can be obtained from MMI or A&E branches - along with the Dh 150 fee and the documents required. After about 10 days, subject to approval, the licence will be issued. The amount of alcohol it permits the holder to buy will be determined by Dubai Police according to factors such as salary level age and family size.
If the residence visa expires before the licence does, the licence must be renewed by submitting it along with another completed application form and a photocopy of the new residence visa.
Required documents:
Passport copy
Residence visa copy
Tenancy contract copy (or NOC letter from leaseholder)
Labour contract copy
