Driving License Conversion, Upgrade & Renewal
If you possess a valid driving licence from your home country, you might be able to convert it directly to a Malaysian licence, depending on certain conditions. However, some foreign licences are not eligible for direct conversion, meaning you may need to pass the local driving test to obtain a Malaysian licence.
