Driving License Conversion, Upgrade & Renewal
If you hold a valid driving licence from your home country, you may be eligible for a direct conversion to a Malaysian licence – though this is subject to certain conditions. However, licences from some countries cannot be converted directly, and you may need to take the local driving test if you wish to obtain a Malaysian licence.
