Sometimes when you're new to a country a task like getting your driver's license can make you feel like you're 16 years old again trying to pass your driver's test. Here's an overview of the process of getting your driver's license in Taiwan. Foreigners who wish to drive in Taiwan must meet certain requirements. First, they must have a valid International Driving Permit (IDP) which is valid for one year from the date of entry into Taiwan. If they plan to stay in Taiwan for more than a year, they must obtain a Taiwan driver's license. To get a Taiwan driver's license, foreigners must pass a written test (available in English) and a road test. They must also provide a health check report from a local hospital in Taiwan. Foreigners who hold a valid driver's license from their home country can apply for a Taiwan driver's license without taking the road test. They will still need to pass the written test and provide a health check report. The foreign driver's license must be authenticated by a Taiwan embassy or consulate in their home country and translated into Chinese. As for regional differences, the requirements for driving in Taiwan are generally the same across the entire country. The driving laws and regulations are set at the national level, so they do not vary by city, state, or region. However, traffic conditions and driving customs can vary from place to place, so it's important for foreigners to familiarize themselves with local driving conditions. NATAD-movesentence
