Driving license of home Country is require to get driving license KSA?

Hi there,

It's better to be having a local DL while you are in the town. I THINK it is ok to have your country DL for a couple of months, but it should be an int'l one unless you're holding one of those Gulf countries then you are ok.

On the other hand, driving in SA is totally different from anywhere else. It's not a big deal if you holding DL or no but you gotta be good driver. I mean really good driver. (you will discover it by the time then). Also, it depends in which city you will be living at.

My Regards,

Hello Taz_Y,

Thanks a lot.

I will be moving to Saudi Arabia Jeddah and I am from India Mumbai....I don't know Mumbai's driving license will be useful or not while applying for License in Jeddah.

Thanks for replying.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards...

Answering your questions, if you already have a driving license from your home country, it helps you avoid the usually five-day theoretical and practical training plus the fee associated with it. It also, therefore, saves you time. However, I heard that the license should be at least 5 years old for such provision.

Hope it helps

Dear Brother,

this is only my concern, my driving license will not be even 1or 2 months old so it will be considered for this provision ? anybody having clear Idea about it ? I hope am not wasting my time in making driving licens from home country.

please advice frined any one of you having any Idea on this ?

Best Regards.......

Getting the driving license in your home country won't hurt. I suggest you continue this process there until someone is able to give you the exact information on this.
