All UAE residents can take driving lessons without a no-objection certificate from their employer.
Emirates Driving Institute confirmed the new policy last week on social media.
Previously, lawyers, doctors, teachers, pilots and accountants were among people from about 60 professions who did not need a no-objection certificate.
“NoC from sponsor is not required,” a post on the EDI's Facebook page said.
“Now you can open a file to obtain a Dubai driving licence without a NoC from the sponsor."
An EDI representative confirmed the rule was in place and that anybody could take driving lessons.
However, residents need to provide a copy of their passport and residence visa page, the original and a copy of their Emirates ID card, two photographs and an eye test report to register for lessons.

Key findings of Jenkins report
- Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
- Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
- Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
- Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
