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.
