I want to know if I am eligible for a driving licence? My details are as follows.

1. Salary on the work permit is KD 600.

Answer: You meet all the requirements to apply for a driving licence but as to whether you get one will depend on your medical condition and passing the driving test. When it comes to acquiring a driving licence, designation only plays a role if the applicant doesn’t meet some of the requirements and hence seeks exemption which is granted by the Director-General of the Traffic Department.
