@XTang Hi, Can I have both KSA & UAE license active at the same time? I have employment visa here in KSA & Wife Visa at UAE.

Theoretically, no.  Practically, yes if you manage not to surrender your UAE license or do the process from scratch in Saudi.

In general, it is possible to hold driving licenses from both the UAE and KSA simultaneously. However, you should check with the relevant authorities in each country for specific regulations regarding holding multiple licenses while residing or working there. Typically, if you're a resident of Saudi Arabia (with an employment visa), your primary license would be issued by KSA.


If you have a valid driver's license from the UAE as well, ensure that it's not expired and complies with any local laws about foreign drivers' permits. It's advisable to contact traffic departments in both countries for detailed guidance on maintaining active licenses under your circumstances.

Is there any restrictions for colorblind to get licence ?

I have just done it. My driving license was expiring in the UAE in 2 months. I got my KSA license, and they took the UAE. Renew my UAE driving license, no issues. Of course you should have a valid residency visa in both countries.
