Before you start

You need to sign in and choose who is applying. You can save your answers as a draft and come back to them. We check the records held by the Los Santos authorities, so answer the declaration truthfully.

What you need

  • The name of the event and what will happen
  • The venue, the start and end times and the number of people expected
  • Whether there will be alcohol, amplified music, fireworks or stage effects
  • Your security and stewarding arrangements for a larger event

How it works

  1. Apply at least 48 hours before the event.
  2. Pay the fee within 7 days. We do not decide until the fee is paid.
  3. The Events and Permits Office decides within 72 hours of payment and may attach conditions.
  4. The Coral Island Police Service is told about every permitted event.

You will be asked to sign in first.

After you apply

Pay the fee at the Coral Island Flights desk at Sandy Shores Airfield, at the Immigration and City Office in Puerto Coral or with the payment command /coralfees pay. If you agreed, the event is listed on the events page once the permit is granted.

If you are refused

The letter explains why. The fee is not refunded. You can apply again for a different date or venue.
