How do you pay the PMI fee from the UAE?
Pay on PMI.org with any UAE Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card that allows online payments in US dollars. Your bank converts the dollar amount at close to the 3.6725 peg, but many UAE banks add a foreign currency transaction fee, so check your card’s terms. A card with no foreign transaction fee, or a USD account, avoids that cost.
Many UAE employers sponsor PMP for project staff. If yours does, ask whether they pay PMI directly or reimburse you, and keep the PMI receipt.
