Uk driving License by johnny1126
Has anyone changed their uk license. Uk gov website says do it before the end of December. Malta transport tell me I don鈥檛 need to and can only exchange my license within 2 months of its expiry date. I completed the form DVR30 but MALTA ...
Hi, Couple of questions/points - 1 - Could getting an IDP enable me to drive here in Malta long term without the need to change my UK license to a Maltese one? 2 - Given that Malta is in the EU and the UK is not, would holding a Maltese license ... Read More

State vs Private School by BrightBug
