yes u can, but it will only be valid with the same date as ur visa.... a temporary license will be issued ... u can have the permanent one once an rp was issued to u ....

To add to the above, you may drive with you UK/UK/GCC license only for a period of 14 days (some say 7 days) after which you have to get a temporary license. If you drive without a temporary license after this period, you will get into trouble with the police and attract a fine.

You can get a temporary driving license for the period of your business visa. Unfortunately you will have to keep renewing it when you renew your business visa. Expensive and not worth it.

As an Indian you can get a driving license across the counter if you have a GCC license or an US/UK license, else it is not feasible to undertake driving tests etc while on business visa.

Yes, you need to get RP first, and the RP would take around a month after you have your medical test.
