1. Users purchase EB Tokens (SR 1/each).
2. User who asks a question is debited one token.
3. User who answers is credited one token.
4. After a user accumulates 2020 tokens, s/he clicks the EB Rewards Console to redeem them for a round-trip Saudia ticket to Rome.

Thanks for the endorsement, AC.  I'd rather work in KSA, however, than take on the job of POTUS.

I don't suffer fools lightly.  D.C. would be the end of me!  :/

On topic:  I just got an int'l drivers permit w/ a motorcycle endorsement.  I didn't even have to go--my office admin handled it for me.  Very convenient.  It's good for 1 year.

The only requirement was a front/back copy of my U.S.A. driver's license, 2 passport photos, copy of passport, copy of Iqama, copy of KSA driver's license, and SAR 200.  FYI

I checked and my circumstances aren't there; I have a UK driving licence and a Saudi licence (from my stay a couple years ago). I believe I need to get the Saudi licence switched over to my new sponsor/Iqama, and take along a letter from my sponsor/employer, photos, copy of passport (with entry visa) and some hard cash.

Is this correct and anyone done this before?
