    Is it compulsory to have a driving license of our own country to have a license in K.S.A.?
    Community Answer
    It is not compulsory to have a driving license, but they will make you take the test and ask you to attend the classes. If you do have a license from your own country that would be great for you as it is more easy to apply by translating the license in Arabic.
