Foreign Citizens in Dubai can take a direct test for License instead of taking lessons. The only criteria would be having a golden visa and a drivers license from their homeland. Depending on the nation in which they passed, citizens are usually required to undergo lessons before passing a local driving test. If they hold a licence from one of the 32 authorised nations, they are instantly qualified for a UAE licence. If you don’t fit on the list then you must take training. This would include people from India, Pakistan, and the Philippines.
Who Is Eligible For Golden Visa?
Dubai’s Prime Minister and Ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, in May 2019 introduced a long-term residence scheme. Within a few months of its inception, more than 400 investors & businessmen got the visa. Yet dozens more obtain it every day.

Some scientists, big data and artificial intelligence professionals, high performing students and their families, and university graduates will also be eligible.
