Yes, both residents and non-residents can buy a car in Dubai. However, non-residents may face limitations when registering the car under their name. Residents with a valid Emirates ID, UAE driving license, and residence visa can easily buy and register a car.

For residents:

• Valid Emirates ID

• UAE driving license

• Passport & residence visa copy

• Proof of insurance

For non-residents:

• Passport copy

• International driving license (if you plan to drive)

• Local representative or company may be required for registration

You can buy a car without a UAE driving license, but you cannot register or drive it until you have one. Some nationalities can convert their home country’s license to a UAE license directly.
