Hi There
I was just wanting to know whats the procedure for obtaining a temporary driving license, if I am on a family visitt visa.
I have a Dubai and a British Driving License.
Where do I go to obtain it
What documents Do I need
How much does it cost?
How Long Does it last for?
Cheers
Hi guys i wanted to go on saturday to get my temp license,
can i go on saturday? if so from what time?
and also where do i go please? direction wise?
thanks
Not sure,but i think since u have Dobai as well as Uk license u can drive without hassels in any part of GCC untill u r on visit visa ,only the thing is u have to drive rent car.
british driving license is acceptable and eefective here its good as an internatinal driving license ..all you have to do is to go to traffic department and arrange for the light fees and docu.
thats right approach anybody who would like to give assistance to you and who knows how to speak arabic language
Thanks Qad
And is it ok to drive on either of my driving licenses until I get my temp license?
You can go to main traffic dept. with passport copy (valid visa page),
Dubai D/L, a no objection letter from your sponsor (who provided the visa -
sometimes its not required) 2 passport photos
When you enter the main traffic dept. you will find lot of sudanese nationals.
You can approach anyone (guys with ID hangin in their neck) and they will charge 100 QR as service charge to prepare applications/other papers etc.
You have to do eye test first. Afterwards, the sudanese guy will take you to the counter and get you the licence, which will cost 150QR.
