How do I check if my study destination allows students to drive with a foreign license?

To determine if your study destination permits driving with a foreign license, start by researching the country’s official transportation or motor vehicle department website. Many countries allow short-term use of foreign licenses, often requiring an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside it.

Contact the local embassy or consulate for specific rules, as some regions mandate converting to a local license after a certain period. Universities often provide guidance on this for international students. Always verify insurance requirements, as driving without proper coverage can lead to legal issues.
