What are the driving license requirements for newcomers in UAE?

To obtain a driving license in the UAE, newcomers must provide a valid passport, residence visa, and an eye test certificate. Fees can range from AED 2,000 to AED 5,000 depending on the emirate and driving school you choose. In my 3 years in Dubai, I found the process was straightforward, especially if you choose schools like RTA or Abu Dhabi Driving School, which offer packages that cover everything from classes to tests. Pro tip: Ensure your residence visa is stamped before applying, as it is a requirement!
