wow marc that's pretty awesome!!
i still havent got my residency visa yet.... What a load!

How you finding Dubai?

[marc]

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.

Does anyone know if this applies to South Africans as well?

I take it you didn't have to wait 2 weeks to get the license, Marc?

[marc]

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.

I will let you know,...

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?

Does an international driving licence not allow you to drive?

[marc]

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.
