News of a major hiring campaign by Dubai Taxi Company has started spreading quickly across Bangladesh, especially among drivers hoping to move abroad for better pay. The company is expected to bring in around 6,000 Bangladeshi drivers over the course of 2026, with the first interviews already taking place in Dhaka this May.
What Recruiters Are Looking For
The process is mainly aimed at people who already know how to handle city driving professionally. Additionally, they are looking for:
- A valid Bangladeshi driving licence.
- A candidate who is generally expected to be between their early twenties and late forties.
- English does not need to be perfect, but drivers’ English should at least be basic conversational.
- Recruiters are also checking background records carefully. Anyone with major criminal issues or repeated traffic offences could struggle to get through screening.
- Medical fitness checks are part of the process as well.
The Licence Situation in Dubai
One point creating confusion among applicants is the licence issue. Having a Bangladeshi licence alone is not enough for commercial driving in Dubai.
After reaching the UAE, selected drivers usually have to complete local formalities connected to the Roads and Transport Authority. This includes eye tests, training sessions, paperwork, and sometimes driving exams. These procedures can cost a fair amount, so applicants are advised to prepare financially before travelling.

Agencies Linked to the Recruitment
So far, three overseas recruitment agencies have been associated with the ongoing hiring process:
- Al Anas Overseas
- VIP Global
- M Bahar Overseas
Applicants are being encouraged to stay within these official channels while applying. Many workers searching for Gulf jobs end up losing money to middlemen who promise “confirmed selection” or faster visas. Because of that, drivers are being advised to verify every payment and document carefully before proceeding.
