Converting Driver's License Nov 08, 2005
Hi, its me again

I got a Singapore Driver's License. Would I be required to do any tests in Dubai to get a local drivers license?

Also, where do they issue driver's license/conversions in Dubai?

Not sure if you can do a staright swap. I had a Hong Koing drivers license and I could not "straight swap" it. I had to revert to my UK license instead.

You can check on the Dubai Police website or transport dep website to see what licenses they do a straight swap for.
