It is possible for holders of an Australian Driver Licence to have it translated into Arabic and then have a Saudi Licence issued without sitting for any tests. According to students, it is possible to attain the Saudi Licence even if you hold a provisional Australian Licence. The cost of issuing a 5 year licence is somewhere in the figure of 500 riyal.
To get the licence you will need a copy of your Iqamah (residency permit - provided by the university), Passport, A Medical check paper (- provided by the university), Driver Licence and translated Driver Licence.
The translation services, Medical paper and Medical check-up services can all be completed within the university compounds prior to heading over to the Driving School and are free of charge for students (i.e Must have a student card).
