Driving with Canadian licence

Post new topic

canada2006

1) I have been offered a job in Muscat and i would be coming there end December this year. My question is will i be able to drive on my Canadian driver licence for a few weeks till i sort my Omani Drivers Licence? Or do i have to bring an international drivers licence from Canada?

2) What sort of written and road tests will i have to give before i convert my Canadian Licence to Omani?

Thanks!

Standard provincial license is fine. No need for International. No issues using it until you get the Omani license sorted.

No written test or road test needed with Canadian licenses. Just an eye exam, and you can get a valid Omani License.

Wow! Thanks so much Darry for your prompt response. Much appreciated!
.....but does one have to get the Canadian driver licence attested/or certified from the Canadian Consulate in Muscat?

Thanks again Sir!

Nope. They just inspect the license at the traffic office to make sure it's legit. No need for the consulate.
