What is the fee for obtaining an international driving license in Timor-Leste


The cost of an international driver's license, commonly known as an International Driving Permit (IDP), in Timor-Leste is only $69. If your plan involves exploring the country by driving, you can rent a vehicle from local car rental companies. It's important to note that your valid driver's license must accompany the IDP, and it should not be expired, as an expired home country license renders the IDP invalid in Timor-Leste. The IDP is established under the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, an agreement facilitated by the United Nations.

 

How can foreign drivers apply for an International Driving Permit?

 

Applying for an IDP as a foreign driver is a straightforward process. Start by preparing your valid driver's license (with more than six months of validity from its expiry date), a passport-size photo or an ID card-sized photo, and your credit card. Click the "Apply for IDP" button on the screen and fill out the application form with accurate details matching those on your driver's license. Upload your passport-size photo and provide your credit card information for the IDP fee payment.

 

In how many countries is the IDP valid?

 

The IDP is accepted in over 165 countries, including Japan, Australia, South Africa, Malaysia, Taiwan, Portugal, Hong Kong, Namibia, Thailand, Iran, Panama, Algeria, and many more.

 

What is the legal driving age in Timor-Leste?

 

To drive in Timor-Leste, you must be at least 18 years old. However, renting a car may have a higher age requirement to ensure safe handling of the vehicle.

 

Crucial Driving Rules in Timor-Leste:

 

1. Basic Traffic Rules: Drive on the left-hand side and overtake on the right, following local traffic norms.

 

2. Speed Limits: Adhere to posted speed limits, which vary across different areas. In built-up areas, the speed limit is not more than 50kph, while on motorways, it should not exceed 120kph. Rural areas allow speeds of up to 90kph.

 

3. Seat Belt Usage: Both drivers and passengers must wear seat belts while the vehicle is in motion to ensure safety, especially on bumpy and narrow roads.
