The UAE’s Markhoos initiative allows citizens from 52 countries to drive using their national licenses while visiting and exchange them for a UAE license upon residency. This update streamlines procedures, supports digital services, and strengthens international mobility agreements. Visitors and residents benefit from simplified driving license processes without the need for tests. Specific conditions apply depending on the visit or residency status. South Korean citizens can only exchange licenses after becoming residents; they cannot use their national licenses for driving as visitors.
