Dear Sir,
I am holding UAE Driving license and how to get a Saudi one? is it possible we can drive with a UAE International Driving License? I am working as a Sales Executive in a Private company. How can I get a Saudi License? or How can I Transfer from UAE to Saudi? is it required to surrender my UAE Driving License? once it surrenders then suppose we go back to UAE, can we get back the same?

Please advise.

Thanks,

ANISHDAS

It is illegal to drive with UAE Licence here, when you have a valid Iqama.

My experience is that it is better to go and join the Academy take classes and then driving exam.

Your HR department and company drivers will be able to assist in doing the transfer.
I am not sure if you can do a direct swap for a UAE license like you can for a UK/US license. I retained my U.K. license they don't normally hold your foreign license.

It's better if you will apply for a new Saudi driving license. they accept to change your driving license but as you mentioned when you go back to UAE, they will never return it.
