If you wish to be self-employed in the traveling trade, you generally require a traveling trade permit.

You operate a traveling trade if you offer your services or goods outside of your commercial establishment without a prior order or carry out an entertaining activity as a showman or showwoman or in the manner of a showman or showwoman.

For example

• as a showman or showwoman,
• as a "flying trader" or
• as the owner of a market stall.

The traveling trade license is generally valid indefinitely. However, it can be issued for a limited period if this is necessary to protect the general public or consumers.

If you have a temporary traveling trade license and wish to extend it, you must apply to the competent authority.
