I live in Muscat, but the procedure everywhere the same, at first you need to get a teacher , he/she would help you to get " training card" known as " katcha" in arabic,
...

and you'd pay two ways, either by contract or by hours, though now days via hours is much popular,

i really wish you get used to the place soon, and any help i could provide,

best wishes patanwala

patanwala

thnx dude for the reply...really appreciated...

but is that mean, i dun have to register for the license before getting training...or have to register first??

and wat will be the cost for per hour..approx//

regards

Omanika

yep, you need to register first, then you can start your training, and it costs around 5 to 7 Rial per hour, i'm not really sure of Salalah, but this is how it is in muscat, and it's the capital, so maybe it's cheaper there, around 5 R.O.



anddd you welcome :)

patanwala

Exactly.. have asked here...n its costs around 6 RO only per test here too...now the thing is trainers are floating around here...n ppl are saying its a wise decision to choose a trainer here..u have to be very careful coz this Omani guys seems very lazy when it cums for work..

anyways thats the other side...i will be registering from nex month.. inshallah..

and thanx alott buddy for being soo helpful.. take care..

For those of you here - hailing from any Asian country - seeking insights into the rather complicated and cumbersome procedure of getting an Omani Driving Licence, the following link might throw some light :

/forum/viewtopic.php?id=204834

This however does not apply to non-Asian expatriates, as the process for them is far simpler.

Good luck !
