Bike license and Gun license

bella22

Hi

Me and my husband is planning on moving to S.A I am South African reccently moved to CZ So I would like to know how does it work with licenses

I have a Czech drivers license is it valid in S.A or do you have to do the whole test again and the same for my husband + he has a bike license?

He is thinking about getting a firearm license here in Czech Republic, will it be valid in S.A?


Thank you

You can use your Czech license if it's INTERNATIONAL. You can really exchange it for a local license unleaa you have a PR.

I'm 99% sure  it'll not be valid here in SA.

Apply for an international DRIVING  licence. This is usually valid for 1 year in SA. You will need to both get Id documents to apply for sa driving licences and same goes for gun licence. You husbands will not be valid over there.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE MOVE!!
