How To Apply Motorcycle Licence in UAE

Today I received the No Objection Letter from my boss. Canteekkk...

Then I called up Emirates Driving Institute (EDI) to check on the documents required and procedures. I had not so impressive experience dealing with Dubai Driving Centre last time when I was obtaining my car driving licence. So this time I want to try with EDI. Why them? because their institute is near my house, behind Al Bustan Shopping Centre. From their website, they also have facilities like children play area, eye test centre, photocopy centre, cafe and spacious waiting area. These features seem way better than Dubai Driving Centre. So it should be a good start.

I have to call EDI twice. In the first call, I asked the staff what type of motorcycle licence is required if I want to ride a big bike like harley? He replied one moment sir...and then made me waited for almost 15 minutes. I soon realised he had no clue for the answer but so ashamed to say I dont know sir. Hmm cilaka punya budak!!

But nevermind lets try another guy, and I said that first guy better pray he will not be the one who pick up my second call. The second guy gave me a conclusive and firm answer. That there is only one category of motocycle licence in UAE for all types of motorcycle. That's good ! The guy even told me that to save me a lot of hassle, he can arrange to send a staff to collect my documents and they will do all the registration. I just need to get ready my eye test result, original passport, other copies of documents and of course money AED600 first. The total charge for Friday classes only is AED2865. There will be 16 classes altogether divided to 3 Fridays of 4 classes each. That means I'll be commuting to the institute during Ramadhan. Thirsty weii...!

Here is the list of documents required:

1) Letter of No Objection - checked
2) Original passport - will bring tomorrow
3) 2 passport copies - will bring tomorrow
4) 7 photos - checked
5) Eye test result - will get one today

Alright..smooth.
