Frequently Asked Questions

What is an International Driving Permit (IDP)?

An IDP is an official translation of your driver's license issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention or 1968 Vienna Convention — Taiwan accepts both.

An IDP is not a standalone license; it must be carried together with your original home country license. You must obtain it in your home country before traveling.

How long can I drive in Taiwan on a foreign license?

Under Taiwan's Road Traffic Safety Regulations (Article 50), foreign visitors can drive during their lawful stay, up to a maximum of 1 year.

Exceptions: Hong Kong license holders can drive directly for up to 1 year without an IDP. Macau residents may drive for the first 14 days without registration.

Japan: IDP or JAF translation?

Taiwan and Japan have a bilateral recognition agreement. Japan does not issue 1949 Geneva Convention IDPs — use the official JAF Japanese-to-English translation document instead.

Required: original Japanese license + JAF translation (~¥3,000). Both must be carried while driving.

Can mainland China license holders drive in Taiwan?

No. Mainland China (PRC) driver's licenses are not recognized in Taiwan under any circumstances. There is no bilateral agreement or IDP arrangement.
