I saw the following news specially about vehicle tax. Will it happen? Article

Actually last time when I was in Sri Lanka, two cops stoped me and told me that I cannot use the international driving license as I am a citizen of sri lanka. They told me that I need to have sri lankan driving license but I gave some garbage talk and managed to escape. From that time I was under impression that what they told me is correct but now I realised it is not the case..I guess I you guys always says..it is land like no others.

Thanks guys..yes I have ask one of my friend to contact the motor trafic department because I tried but they kept me on hold for 15 minitues so I had to disconnect as it is waste of money for holding for so long (I called from Dubai) but no answer. I tried to find out the list of countries that recognise by sri lanka but could not find. Anyway, will keep you all updated in case if I get a positive response. Thanks

Yes I am a Sri Lankan but the problem I am having is the time. I think you need a lot of time to do the test etc..as they don't recognise the international driving license issued from Dubai. Does anyone knows normally how long it will take for the whole process? Do you think I will be able to do it within two weeks time. Also, someone told me that I cannot obtain a sri lankan driving license by submitting Dubai one but not sure whether that is true or not. Thanks

Hi Guys, This is my first posting to the site and would like to get some information about how to obtain a driving license in sri lanka. I am in Dubai and visit sri lanka aroound two times per year (for two weeks). I really need to get a sri lankan driving license but don't know if this is possible. I already have a driving license in dubai but not sure I can obtain sri lankan one by showing it. Is there any guidence you guys can give me? I do appreciate your comments...
