Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on Saturday clarified the process for driving licence renewals after a resident posted a concern on Twitter.
In a thread, a tweep typed in a statement that simply says "I want to renewal my uae driving licence from india".
While many authorities in other parts of the world could easily dismiss such a comment to a totally unrelated post, the RTA went ahead and addressed the concern.
The authority clarified that UAE residents who wish to renew their licences will have to be in the country for the procedure.
"Thank you for contacting us. Kindly note that it is mandatory to be in the UAE with a valid Emirates ID and a valid eye test from RTA's authorized optical centers in the UAE to renew your driving licence," it tweeted.
