Yes, you can drive in Malaysia with your valid driving license from your home country!
Here’s what you need to know:
✅ If your license is in English or Malay, you can use it right away.
✅ If it's in another language, you’ll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) or an official English translation as support.
🕒 Important:
You’re allowed to drive with your foreign license for up to 90 days from the date you enter Malaysia.
🚗 Staying longer? If you plan to drive after 90 days, you’ll need to convert your license to a Malaysian Driving License to continue driving legally.
