  1. Car Export from UAE to Oman- Complete Procedure

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    @Hussey77

    Glad to see my post is still beneficial to ppl.

    As per my info cars beyond 10 yrs of age not allowed for import in Oman by expats. One of my phillipino friend took his trail blazer here in muscat which was older than 10 yrs, he got it cancelled from UAE but it took him very long and quite hard to get it registered  in Oman(in year 2021). Again, this is per my info, you cross chk with others aswell.

    For license part, rules changes long back and now automatic licenses are issued in Oman. You only need to have original NOC letter from license issuing authority in UAE.

    NOC stating that UAE authority has no objection surrendering your license for Oman license.

    In case you have valid UAE visa, you don't need to surrender license, just show ROP (royal Oman police) UAE license and valid visa, they will issue Oman license and you can keep UAE license too. 😊

  5. Asx AC issue...

    in Mitsubishi ASX Forum in UAE

    Posted

    Hi everyone. So i went to a renowned workshop here in muscat for this problem and asked him to chk ac gas. He said that they do not chk gas just like most of the guys. They connected a machine (i saw that  machine for the first time), that machine sucked out all the gas and measured weight of that gas, then it sucked out compressor oil and measuring its quantity, then created the vacuum inside ac system and checked for the leakage. Gas was low, so it was filled back in system through same machine alongwith oil.

     

    Machine detected a leakage as well, for that workshop guy put UV dye in system, kept running AC for 15 20 mins, and checked for any leakage under ultra violet light. Alham dullilah there was no leakage found.  He thoroughly checked all pipes, hoses, valves, compressor,  condenser  but no leakage was found. He even inspected the water dripping  down from evap on floor for any leakage of refrigerant. But nothing found...and suggested me to bring the car back in case of problem occurs again.

    Alham dullilah Ac is running perfectly now.. with awesome cooling....

    Below is that machine.. mamy of u might have seen it, but for me it was something new...

    Thanks for your reply

    I was having same light blinking problem 2 years back and upon checking, my mechanic diagnosed that the AC gas was low which was refilled at that time, now after 2 years gas is still at required level/ quantity but now the problem is some different, as I mentioned in my main post.....

    For me the main problem is finding a good reliable and honest mechanic here in Muscat, because when I was in Sharjah I had a very good and reliable mechanic which I am still unable to find here...and dealership is always v v expensive....

    Dear all, The car in question is Mitsubishi ASX 2013 model (oman)

    Having issue with AC, and the issue is that AC works in normal mode with standard v good cooling, but sometimes randomly (specially day time), it trips off and doesn’t trip on again…. If I turn it off and then turn it ON after 10 15 mins.. it starts working fine again…. Mechanic checked and said gas is OK… So what could be the problem???   I discussed with one of my frend, he told me that his Sonata was having similar problem and that was because his evaporator used to get ice on it, and when he turn on ac after 5 10 mins, his car ac used to work fine. Can similar problem be with my car? And how to check ice on evaporator???

  10. Car Export from UAE to Oman- Complete Procedure

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    Hello everyone, As title says, I will try to provide all information regarding Car transfer from UAE to Oman. Since many people have done it but I couldn’t find any blog/ forum with its explanation.

     

    So all this started when I got job in Oman.

    Since there are less options for second hand cars in Oman and my car was in good very condition too, so I took the decision and decided to take my car along with me here. Because its better to keep your car rather selling it on loss and buying again in Oman.

     

    So all below information is only my personal experience, any one other may has different experience, or rules may change in future…if you feel anything is missing, just let me know I will add in main post…

     

    Lets start now.... 

     

    In general main steps are;

     

    • Land in Oman
    • Get residency card
    • Get a license
    • Get debit/ credit card from any Oman based bank
    • Come back to UAE and export car to Oman (REMEMBER: you have to keep your UAE visa valid, otherwise .......you won’t be able to come back :-) )

     

    Details are as follows:

     

    • Get residence card in Oman (it takes only one week for it).
    • Get any credit/ debit card from any Oman based bank (this is must must… otherwise you will be in trouble, Oman custom guys will never accept UAE based bank debit/ credit card for payment, and there is no option for cash payment)
    • Apply for license, for license it was to my surprise that there is no Automatic license in Oman. You have to have a manual license, luckily I had Saudi manual license, so I surrendered it and got Oman manual License. In case you have UAE automatic car license, you will have to go through Driving test procedure in Oman.
    • After getting license come back to UAE, either by road or by air. By road, Mawaslat buses take 8 to 10 Omani rial and in 6 to 7 hrs you reach dubai. By air its 45 mins air arabia flight from Muscat to Sharjah.

     

    Since I exported car from Sharjah, so will explain steps in Tasjeel Sharjah, I hope Dubai and Abu Dhabi will have similar steps.

     

    • Go to Tasjeel along with your mulkiya & license and car obviously… J
    • At entrance tell counter guy that you want EXPORT TEST… (don’t forget to mention). He will provide you a small slip stapled to your mulkiya mentioned “Export Vehicle” on it.
    • Export test booth is behind booth 12 of normal testing booth.
    • A guy there will take your mulkiya and will enter few details in system and will ask you to go inside. In actual there will be no test…..
    • Remove number plates, go inside tasjeel building. (as far as I remember I was asked to go direct to counter 10 without any token).
    • A lady there will take 100 dh for test (which actually didn’t took place J)
    • Then you have to take insurance till UAE border, it was for 210 dh in my case with validity of two weeks.
    • Take token from main counter mentioning them that you have to export car to Oman.
    • On your turn, your mulkiya will be kept and a paper having details for you and your car will be provided. Hand over your number plate at that counter and pay 170 dh for export sticker.
    • REMEMBER: you have to mention every one at counter that you will be driving car yourself to Oman. Generally they assume that car will be taken on truck…..
    • So you will be provided with 2 blue color export stickers which you have to paste at both ends of your car.. now you are good to go out of UAE.

     

    There are two border posts to enter in Oman, Al Ain border and Hatta border. If you want to go to Muscat, choose Hatta border. Or just google map your destination in Oman, wherever map takes you… follow it… J

     

    AT UAE BORDER:

     

    • After crossing first security check post…
    • Second check post which is actually an immigration counter, tell them about car export.. They will ask you to park car at left and go to other building. So park your car at road side after crossing 2nd check post and move to building named “Khatem maleha Boder Custom Service”.
    • At Khatem maleha building, mention them again about car export, they will make a paper call “Bayaan” for your car. Its basically valuation of your Car to be exported. You will be asked about your car value, Very carefully mention them your car value, because based on that value you will be paying 5% Custom Duty in Oman. Pay 130 dh there. (cash is accepted)
    • After bayaan, go to immigration counter again, since your car has already crossed that check post, so you will have to join the guys who are standing in queue to get their passports stamped (mostly they are truck drivers from UAE who are exporting items to Oman). Pay 35 dh there (Only Card payment, no cash).
    • You will be provided a small slip. Now you are all done in UAE. Show that slip to next check post and exit UAE.

    ….

     

    Get back into your car and move towards Oman border.

     

    AT OMAN BORDER:

     

    Main steps are:

    •  Passport control
    • Car insurance
    • Custom duty payment
    • Custom Police verification/ signing
    • Border crossing

     

    • Go to Passport control, show your residence card, he will stamp on passport and will provide you small slip.
    • Go to insurance office, its just adjacent to passport control caravan. Take insurance. For me it was 13 rial for two weeks.
    • Next step is Custom Payment, usually there are few agents (called PRO there) moving around to catch any customer, they belong to different Custom Clearance Companies…. So one guy took me to a caravan where there were many Custom Clearance Companies.
    • You have to pay 5% of Custom Duty, 10 rial some documents fee plus Service fee for that Custom agent.
    • You will be provided with some papers and will be asked to go to Custom Police office which is at bit distance (go in your car there).
    • Police will enter details in system and will ask to go back again to Custom agent. Take your car back from same track.
    • Custom agent will give you some Colored paper. And will ask you again to go to same Custom Police…. J
    • Police (its actually a border Custom Police) will sign those papers and you can exit Oman then…

     

    So while on exit from Oman you have to show that paper signed by Custom Police to security person, then he will ask search you car.. will let you go…

     

    So you are in Oman now…. Enjoy your drive till your destination…

    Get your car registered in Oman after insurance.. and enjoy……

     

    REMEMBER; When you are going to put the export sticker, put a paper or a card behind it in a way that only 1 to 2-inch border of the sticker is stuck to the car. Because while registering my car here in Muscat, the Police guy at the counter asked me to handover those stickers to him. And it took me time and effort to put off those stickers.

    Its adhesive was pretty strong, and a sticker is of plastic flexible material. So while you will try to pull it off, it will be deshaped due to elasticity and its adhesive will be stuck to the bumper and trunk lid area. However a major portion of that bad looking adhesive was hidden behind new plates, but for visible marks, I will have to put hot water on it for removal.

    So better not to stick a complete sticker on the front bumper and rear trunk lid area.

     

    CAR REGISTRATION IN MUSCAT:

      This is very much similar to UAE

    •  Get the car insurance (prices are bit lesser as compared to UAE)
    • Go for Car Inspection in Vehicle Registration Office (only difference in UAE and Oman inspection I found that here in Oman, they check front and rear axle by keeping a car on some vibrating plates for few seconds, and those plates vibrate vigorously, I think it is to check the ability of axle to withstand vibrations)
    • Pay for plates and registration (mention plate size at registration counter)
    • Make a payment which is Card Only, NO CASH…(for me it was 38 rial for first-time registration which will be 23 rials next year as per that Police guy at the counter)
    • Get your mulkiya from there within a few minutes
    • Get the plates from an outside small office
    • Get them fixed (1 rial)……..and you are done…….

  13. Shifting to Oman- general queries

    Hi there,

    i have been there for 4 years and have enjoyed every part of it life is slow but peaceful.

    will share my thoughts as to the details i know but do check as new rules come everyday.

    You can transfer your vehicle from Uae to Oman once you obtain your Omani licence.

    You need to apply for fresh licence once you are there and no conversion of licence is done now a days.

    You can still have 3 licences with you of all Gcc but the country you drive that licence is counted as that is linked to your Oman Id card.

    Regarding the rent its actually cheaper than Uae but depends which area in Oman your are placed.

    rates vary as per area of residence and distance of commute from the city.

    Cars are cheaper and lots of choice in uae as compared to Oman, if you are lucky you can sell your car too for a good price in Oman.

    All the best for a much simpler and slower life in Oman as compared to Uae which is fast.

    you will end up having more time on your hands and enjoy the mountainous stretch.

    only remember one thing if you wanna drive down to uae after getting your visa be sure you get the right designation on the visa which allows you to drive in and out of the country without getting stuck and returned back from the border.

     

     

    thank you very much for your reply.

    tell me one more thing, I will have to convert UAE dirham to OMR. Should I buy OMR from UAE, or convert dirham to OMR in oman. which one would be more beneficial?

  14. Shifting to Oman- general queries

    Hello all,

    As title suggests, I am shifting to Oman for new job from Sharjah.

    Have few queries:

    • Can I transfer my UAE car (Sharjah no. plate) to Oman? if yes, then whats the procedure?
    • For Oman license, I will have to surrender my UAE license? if yes, what if in future I come back to UAE as a residnet? I will have to go through driving tests again for UAE license?
    • I have Saudi license as well (still not expired), can I have Oman license based on Saudi license?
    • How much is for 2BHK rent in muscat? (just general figure)
    • I just put a random search for cars on OLX in muscat, there were not much options in different price brackets, as I could see much more nos of cars with same price range on dubbizle dubai? is it true that there are not much options in muscat? (its just my initial feel)

    waiting for response....

  21. Pajero AC light is flashing On and Off

    in Mitsubishi Pajero Forum in UAE

    Posted

    Hi, i know im replying late.

    but may be it help others having similar problem.

    i bought used mitsubishi ASX 2013, it started giving same problem.. AC light used to blink, and then when i switch off and switch on the AC, it used to work good for some time. but after some time (randomly) it used to do same.

    I studied it alot then, belt slipping, bad compressor clutch and many other things on internet........

    took it to a mechanic here in sharjah... there the problem didnt occur....he asked me to leave the car there, to which i refused...then i asked him to check the AC gas...he said the gas is ok..no problem...then i asked him to check the gas with meter... and guess what...the gas was low...and he drained the gas...and filled again....and Alham dullilah, till date (its been almost 9 10 months), that problem never happned again...even in scrochin heat, the AC works flawless.....

     

    so get ur ac gas checked, coz gas pressure loss in a 2 3 year old car is not uncommon...

    Hi,

    please double  check the tire size of asx . On my vehicle ASX i am using 215/60r 17. When i bought the vehicle the stock tires were yokohama used for 80000km before replacing with nexen. Yokohama tires were always noisy and i faced frequent tire punctures. The current tires nexen i've used for around 50000km and its still running fine and Not much road noise as yet .If you are looking for budget tires nexen tires are fine.i bought them because it fit my budget and the other tire models like yokohama continental and bridgestone tires were too expensive.i bought the tires in 2016 from al Saeedi tire.Price was around Aed 250 / tire.

    lower variant has 215 65 16
