Hi, I have an international drivers license I got from the Philippines. Does anyone of you have an idea if I can use it even if I have a residense visa here? Thanks

If you have an UAE resident visum, you need a UAE driving license.

If you're a Philippine National you'll have to take the driving tests from the RTA in order to get your license, no direct transfer. Also not legal to drive with an IDL if you have your residence visa

^ I can confirm what he said. As soon as you have your residence stamp, the IDL is invalid.
