That is what I've mentioned ..... next to MOE .... Barsha Police station

 

[craignewcastle]

My only worry is on the police website they send you to HQ new terminal 2...??? Confused.com

I did mine at the one across the street from MOE in 10 mins. No need to go anywhere else.

Hi
Was that at police station across from moe?

 

[xchaos777]

There is the Dubai Courts and the larger white building next to it. It is across Um Suquim rd from MOE.

It is easier if you think of it as being next to Gold and Diamond Park - just along the service road heading south towards the MOE

 

[craigabz]

Is it quicker to get the eye test done first at an opticians before heading for the MOE test centre?

 

[wandabug]

It is just as easy to do the eye test at the test centre. Or have it done before, up to you really.

 

[craigabz]

Thanks Wanda, if i'm in one of the malls i'll pop in to an opticians and get it done.

I have just experienced too that the RTA customer centre is not anymore at the union coop opposite Al Safa, but has been moved to Al Manara centre, just in front of Noor Islamic bank metro station, sea side of SZR. Before exit 43 if you go towards Jebel Ali.

If you have both passport and DL from SA, then you can transfer your DL to a UAE one - no lessons or driving test required.

See here for the transfer process: Convert a foreign driving license to drive in Dubai

I was looking at the checklist in the website above, what about the NOC ? Is the first time I hear it mentioned.

Is needed only for - say - wifes on husband sponsor visa or should I head again to my HR for the umpteenth declaration of my company about something they couldn't possibly care less, before going to RTA ?
