Government has amended the regulations to allow foreigners married to Maldivians to receive a long-term driver’s license.
The new regulations state that foreigners who are married to Maldivians will be able to receive a driver’s license that has a 10-year expiry period, similar to driver’s licenses issued to Maldivians. Previously, foreigners received a temporary license which they have to renew every year.
The government has begun implementing the new regulations and foreigners married to Maldivians can apply for a permanent driver’s license without having to pass further tests.
