Hi all,

Can anyone please shed some light on whether a Kenyan driving licence can be converted to a Bahraini licence without the need for a test? If so would i need an international licence done in Kenya before the licence can be exchanged?
Thanks in advance.

Looks like Kenya is able to, but an International License will get you around for a year if you want to be all set when you arrive.

To switch your license is a quick trip to Traffic and a payment, eye test and you pick up your card right there. I think I was done in 30-40 minutes when I switched mine.
