Dear to all of you,

I would like to apply for driving license in Malaysia but doesn't work. Can any one here help me?

Actually i have asked for the driving academy, everything i can provide (Time, fees, exam.....) except for valid "VISA" at least 6 months in Malaysia. The reason why is because i dont have permit or visa in malaysia and then accordingly to JPJ, they wont accept only passport. Is that any other way I can get the malaysia license?

Thanks
Brian

No. But you can use a foreign license plus an international driving permit.

There are also no conversions of foreign driving licences to a Malaysian one any longer even if holding a visa

You need a visa valid for 6 months minimum to take the Malaysian driving test. End of story.

If you do not wish to take the test you can continue driving on a valid national licence accompanied by an IDP from same country.

If you were stopped at a road block it can get lost in translation..... But no different rules.

Get a visa to take the local test.
