Driving with International Driving Permit

You can drive as long as you are on a visit visa.  However, once your work/residence visa is done, you cannot drive and must get a Bahrain driving license to be able to.

No...i came here on work visa only and soon going to receive CPR too... But till the time i get my Bahrain Driving License can I drive in Bahrain based on IDP (International Driving Permit) which i bring from India ? Also is there any concession will be given in driving class due to IDP (International Driving Permit). i mean instead of 22 Hours class there will be any reduced due to i have IDP (International Driving Permit)

As I said, no you can't drive on IDP once your work visa has been stamped.

IDP is meaningless for classes.  It is your home country license that counts i.e. which country and license for how long - which decides if any relief will be given on classes.  Go to driving school and check.

Dear,

In India they provide IDP, Please see the list of countries which provide IDP and details of it through the link below :

You will get consession only if you have orginal license with you (Duplicate copy not acceptable ).
