Can those on a visiting visa renew their UAE licence?
Dubai: Many people have doubts about whether they can renew their UAE license after returning home after staying in Dubai for many years and after a while on a visiting visa. But Ashish Mehta, the founder and managing partner of Ashish Mehta and Associates, cleared the doubts in this regard. He answered this doubt of many people in Khaleej Times.
Your UAE driving license is issued by the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority when you reside in the UAE. But by law, the person must be a resident of the UAE to renew an expired UAE driving license of an expatriate above the age of 21.
Moreover, when applying for renewal of UAE driving license one must submit his original valid UAE Resident Identity Card, eye examination by an institution approved by the local authority and the relevant renewal fee to the RTA.
Also, if a person’s UAE driver’s license has not been renewed for more than ten years, he may be required to undergo a validation test to open a training file.
Along with this one has to pay application fee, handbook manual fee, RTA test fee, penalty for not renewing driving license on time, renewal fee and renewal fee to RTA for renewal of expired UAE driving license.
However, a non-resident cannot get a license. Application will not be accepted without UAE Resident Identity Card. Meanwhile, those who came on residence visa and not on visiting visa can apply.
