Some places this wasta dose not works simply, you have to feed some (money) to it. So it will show its power

Yes, WASTA is available, but it's quite expensive.

About 500 million riyals is the starting rate, and it goes up from there.

You can get the ultimate package for 500 million billion, but you don't need to splash out to that degree if all you need is a driving license.....
