Driving License in 10 minutes

Awesome news. Thank you very much MArc.

you can rent with an internaitonal license. i dont know if you can buy, probably if you have a residense visa.

As far as I know, once you have your residence driving with any license other than an UAE license is illegal.

Upstairs at the Co-OP hypermarket at Al Safa Park is quick too. Don't know if they have the opticians there though.

I got my eye test and document typed at the RTA office in Al Barsha before I got my visa, so was prepared in advance

You don't need to be a resident to buy property.I am positive about this.
In regards to the driver license, please shed some info on the following:
What is a "no objection letter" mentioned earlier?
Does the eye exam have to be done at the center or I can bring my test I just had here in the US?
Thank you so much

[Ogri750]

The eye test has to be carried out by one of the authorised centres in Dubai.

The NOC (notice of consent) is given by either your company (if they are sponsoring your visa), or your husband if you are sponsored on his visa. It basically says that they have no objection to you having a driving licence.

Plenty of things here require an NOC

Thanks!That was quick!
I am going by myself,but I won't start working till the first of September.
So I think I will use my international till then, right?
I understand once my the residency is done, I can't use it.

[marc]

yeah use your international to rent a car for a while, until september if you decide to buy.
