I returned home a couple of years back and my RP has been canceled. Now after more than 2 years I came back. I am currently on a Visit Visa and my Driving License is still valid even though my RP was already canceled a couple of years back. Can I drive and use my Driving License even if I'm on a visit visa?? I will appreciate your comments and feedback..

Once your rp is cancelled, your drivers license will automatically cancelled even if the expiry date is still valid.

meghanadhan, once i have a new sponsor, will my former ID number just be repeated?? because the number in the Driving License is the same with that in the RP..

You are not allowed to drive here as your visa has been changed.If you can get NOC from your new sponsor you can submit that NOC along with your license to traffic dept ..Rest they will do the needful..
