Tap "Apply" on the home screen, share a few details, and complete a short identity check (government ID and a brief selfie) processed by a third-party verification provider for trust and safety. A real person on the SIVE team then reviews your application — usually within a few days. Verification supports safety but does not guarantee approval; final access decisions are reviewed by the SIVE team.
Membership is invite-only and curated. You can register interest, but access is reviewed manually. An existing member referral helps your application move faster, but is never required.
No. SIVE has no paid membership, no subscription, and no in-app purchases. Membership is merit-based.
Waitlists usually mean we love your application but the cohort is full this round. We re-open intake regularly and you keep your place.
SIVE is built and operated from Dubai, and the founding circle is being curated here in person. Other cities are not on the roadmap until the Dubai room is proven — we would rather be excellent in one city than diluted across many.
Most applications are reviewed within a few days. We read every submission by hand, so during busy intake windows it can take a little longer — we will always reply, even if the answer is "not this round."
It is your door identity at every SIVE event. Show it on arrival; your host already has your name. You can also add it to Apple Wallet.
Some events allow a +1; many do not. The event card always tells you. If you would like to refer a friend to apply for her own membership, every member has a referral link.
Other members see only your first name, photo, and a short bio. Email, phone, and identity documents are not visible to other members or to hosts.
Yes — write to support@joinsive.com and we will pause notifications and discoverability until you ask us to resume.
Browse the events feed, request a seat, the host approves, waitlists, or invites you to a future date. You will receive a confirmation when your seat is held.
Cancel from the event card as early as you can. Cancelling within 24 hours of the event affects your reliability score, which influences future invitations.
Sometimes, by an approved photographer. Photos are opt-in and never published without your consent.
A small, last-minute opening — usually a single seat that opened up the same day. Tap fast; they fill in minutes.
Small — usually six to twelve seats around one table at a venue we trust. A host you have already met in the app sets the tone, introductions happen on arrival, and dinner runs at its own pace. No swag, no name tags, no programming. The point is the room.
Step away and write to support@joinsive.com. The founder reads every message personally. For an immediate emergency, dial 999 (UAE) first.
Every host is interviewed, identity-checked, and bound to a written code of conduct. Hosts who breach it are removed.
Yes — open her profile and tap Block. She will not see your profile or appear at your events again.
The minimum we need: name, email, phone, photo, identity verification result, and your event history. Read the full Privacy Policy at /privacy.
Yes — Settings → Privacy → Request account deletion. We respond within 30 days as required by UAE PDPL.
Never. We do not sell, rent, or trade member data with anyone, ever.
Still wondering? Write to support@joinsive.com. For anything safety-related, use the same address — reports are reviewed by the SIVE team and escalated when required.
