Well in that case I don't see why everybody is moaning. The "Dark" tint I mentoned I had on my L/C was 50% on the darkness scale and I consider it quite dark. 70% dark scale or 30% VLT is wayyyy too much. I think most of the so called "over tinted" cars we are talking about are p...

I don't understand why us expats have to get ID cards. After all it is a National ID card so should only apply to Nationals i.e Locals. All expats have enough cards to carry anyways. All are issued Labour cards anyways, so why the need for this, replacing hard earned cash with another useless plasti...

Staying out of the country for 6 months automatically cancels your Visa. Only other way to cancel your Visa from abroad is to send them your passport. If you trust them enough to cancel and send it back to you !

BTW what the hell were you doing in Ajman. I lived all my life in Shj and must have gone to Ajman maybe twice, ok a few times more. Maybe like one or twice a year at the most. Absolutely hate that place.

Maybe a early morning trip to the hole in the wall ?
