To set up a shack in Goa, you need to be: A Goan domicile and unemployed, which means that the applicant cannot have any employment or pension, and they should not be directly or indirectly engaged in any business or a vocation. The government had also introduced an age bracket (18 to 60 years) for the applicants. However, the clause was removed after it received pushback from the Goa Shack Owners Welfare Society. Earlier, there was no age bracket to put in an application for setting up a shack. Under the new policy, 90 percent of the licences will be allotted to people with at least one year of experience, while the rest 10 percent of licences will be given to new applicants.
