Hi Royal Gulf,

Only manual driving licences can be converted.

But whether or not the ROP is now converting the UAE manual licence into Omani is something you will know only when you go to the ROP licencing office.

Rules on this issue keeps changing pretty much like all else official. So good luck.

Hi,

You can change Dubai license ( Automatic ) to Oman License ( Automatic.) Just go to ROP license issuing section with Passport copies along with the Resident card. Better i suggest, to take a Omani gentleman with you if you know. Pay 20 Rials. Give eye test and within 15 to 20 minutes you will get the license. But only thing is you need to surrender the Dubai license.

Hope the above helps.

Hello,

Your automatic license could not be exchanged for Omani DL. Only one could get drum and slope test waved off and road test has to be passed.
