Dear All,

I recently moved to Saudi in work visa. Previously I was working in Bahrain and I have a Bahrain driving license.

I want to exchange my Bahrain driving license for a Saudi driving license, I couldn't find proper infromation on this topic. It would be great If someone help me with the following question.

As of now is it possible to convert Bahrain license for a Saudi driving license?
If yes do I need an NOC from Bahrain and how to get one (I tried in bahrain.bh since my bahrain visa already expired it is not allowing me to apply for any services)?
Do I need to attend practical and theoretical test?

Thanks in advance.

@werewolf32 I did in 2020.. I had to do medical..and then my bahrain license was verified internally and then they asked me to take test, it was easy ( they just want to make sure you know driving ) .. take appointment and go with your original bahrain license ... alll the best

No noc required ,ur license should b valid , that's all

@Jerin James Thank you for the inputs. Some of my frieds told that is the old procedure and they have changed the procedure recently and no one has clear idea. I will be glad if my Bahrain license is accepted.
