Driving in Taiwan – What You Need to Know
For the first 30 days, you may use an International Driver’s Permit (IDP) issued by your home country.
(此情況僅適用於互惠國,請見主要國家駕照互惠情形一覽表。)
(This applies only to countries with reciprocal agreements. Please refer to the List of Reciprocal License Agreements.)
To use your IDP for up to one year, you must register it in person at the Motor Vehicles Office.
請攜帶您的居留證(ARC)和護照。需要支付相應的費用。請參閱官方連結。
Bring your ARC (Alien Resident Certificate) and passport. A processing fee is required. Please refer to the official link.
Generally, after one year, you must obtain a local Taiwanese driver’s license by either taking the test or converting your foreign license.
(實際狀況需視互惠條件、停居留期限及國際駕照期限。)
(Actual requirements depend on reciprocity, length of stay, and your IDP validity.)
