Earned points :8
I am driving in Abu Dhabi using international driving license from Hong Kong. However, as far as i know, when i got the resident permit. I cannot drive here using my international driving license. I have to take a driving exam here which may take a month time to complete. I need to drive as long as i got the resident permit. What can I do ? Can i wavie the exam ?

driving exam
You are right, as long as you are under visit visa you will be able to drive, but when ever you get your resident you have to stop, you can not change the exam date but you will be lucky if you get it within one month.
careful
Wilson, be careful do not try to drive w/o license, if the police catch u!!!!!!!!!
license
Am not sure but i think you can pay extra charge and they will let your exam earlier,, just go and ask in the driving department or in the driving school.
Could u make it sure for us if ever u asked them?
I believe that my dreams will become true ONE DAY.....

International Driver's licence
hello can anyone tell me if I can use my firm's car with an international driver's licence? I'm still on tourist visa. I was told that insurance doesn't cover this case. In other countries this doesn't happen.
Thanks

am not really sure abut this, the best way to know is to ask the insurance company or ask the car owner, it is little complicated when it comes to the firm's car.
let us know plz

I am the same situation. I
I am the same situation. I now got the resident visa and cannot drive with HK license.
I have already paid the VVIP course and Dhs200 per lessons, and now paid more than Dhs10k and spend over 4 months but still cannot get the license.
You can have a general web search, on average you need to take 3-5 tests in order to pass, the extreme is to sit for 25 times and spend 5 years for test.
It is a clever policy to make money by the driving school.
Good luck!
