yeah it was great, i heard so many different things, about getting a license, you can change it but you need 20 lessons to get used to roads e.t.c e.t.c blah blah!!! - best thing just to do things yourself!
Im enjoying it very much - the one thing that was missing was driving so now its all pretty sorted. Living in the marina which is fantastic, job is going well to.
No, as soon as I got my residense visa, I went there.
Im really not sure if it applys to South African licenses, best thing is to go there and find out. I have a south africa colleague in my office, I will ask her when she comes in,, she drives, not sure if she exchanged license or took lessons / test.
Thank you marc. I know i wont have to retake the test. None of my colleaugues had to. Did you get you license immediately, or did you have to wait 2 weeks for the processing?
No they did it straight away at their very small shop at Deira city centre.
they took my photo, filled out application, waited 5 mins for scanner, e.t.c
they have all the equipment there on site.

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