Residents with valid driving licenses from their home countries that are not eligible to automatically convert to a UAE license, can now apply to go straight for the test, without having to take driving classes.
The 'Golden Chance' service has been available in Abu Dhabi and will now also be offered in Dubai, as announced by Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
The general cost of driving classes and tests start at Dh 8,000.
Individuals can now apply for a driving test via the RTA website, with prices starting at Dhs 2,000 based on the driving centre.
