Saleh,

Do you know if an expat can take his/her motorcycle out of UAE with the original registration plates ?

I have taken my bike out earlier (to India) using the tourist permit issued by the traffic police but not sure how it would work if one wants to take the motorcycle out permanently.

I've read some reports about the traffic dept. not allowing motorcycles to be taken out of UAE with the original registration plates and insisting that the owner de-registers the motorcycle and installs export plates on it. This would definitely cause issues with the next country of entry no ?

thanks

Dear Vicky

if you mean you want to ride your own bike abroad and re enter UAE then its posabile, but after issueing a cartnet from UAEATC and pay a deposite for it.
overall yes you can drive/ride your own vichle abroad.

Regards
Saleh

I guess my query was not very clear. Apologies for that. Let me re-phrase the question.

If an expat living in UAE wants to leave the country on a world tour along with his/her motorcycle (permanently), can he do so with the registration plates ? OR does he/she have to de-register the motorcycle, install Export plates and then leave the country ?

Is there any way to leave with the original registration plates (not Export plates) ?

cheers

last week we received our Italians friends, who decided to ship their bikes to Dubai and ride all the way back to Italy.

they struggle with the shipping company as they didn't know exactly how to deal with Carnet

, we interfere and guided the shipping agent on the right process.

on Thursday the shipper deliver the bikes to our location, in the afternoon the Italian arrived and they started fixing the bikes and preparing their bags.
as they will be touring the city and having few pictures on Friday.
on Saturday we visited the Ferry office and made all the booking and paper work for the next day ferry to Bander Abbas in Iran.
Sunday Morning they head toward the port and prepare their thing for the departure.

on Monday they clear everything at the Iranian port and move forward.
i wish them a safe and enjoyable trip.

Regards
