Hi all,

I should be moving in to Oman in 1-2 months. I have a Bahrain driving license - would it be valid in Oman and get converted directly, or I need to go through the driving tests.

Bahrain was similar to Oman and have gone through the process once, so would be happy if I don't need to go through the same.

Thanks,
Shash

Hi Shash,

Welcome to expat-blog!

I suggest you to contact the Royal Oman Police, for more concise information about this issue.

Regards,

David.

Thanks David - will do that when I land in Muscat

Was hoping someone might be able to give me some info, since there so many learned members in here. My current license is valid and expires in Oct 2014
