Yes, tourists can buy exotic cars in Dubai, but the process is more straightforward for residents. Tourists are legally allowed to purchase luxury or exotic cars; however, registering the vehicle in Dubai typically requires a valid UAE residence visa and Emirates ID. Without residency, most tourists choose to buy cars for export purposes, meaning the vehicle is shipped abroad after purchase. Dealers and showrooms in Dubai often assist with export documentation and shipping. So while tourists can own exotic cars, keeping and driving them in Dubai generally requires residency. For investment or collection, export buying is a common option.
