Voitko ajaa maassa Japani?
Hyväksytyt ajokortit maista
Voimassaoloaika: Valid for up to 1 year from date of entry into Japan (not from IDP issue date)
Tärkeä huomautus
Japan ONLY accepts International Driving Permits issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. IDPs from the 1968 Vienna Convention are NOT valid. Countries like Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Monaco, and Taiwan have separate bilateral agreements — drivers from these countries need an official Japanese translation of their license instead of an IDP. The IDP must be in the standard booklet format.

Turistien yleisimmät virheet
