Domande Frequenti

Can I take the Korean driving test in English?

Yes! The written theory test is available in English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and several other languages. This makes South Korea one of the more accessible countries for foreign license exchange.

Do I need to take a practical driving test?

In most cases, no. If you have a valid foreign license held for 1+ year, you only need to pass the written test. The practical test is waived for exchanges from most countries.

What is an ARC and do I need one?

ARC (Alien Registration Card) is your foreign resident ID in South Korea. You must have one to apply for a Korean driving license. It is issued by immigration when you register as a resident.

Very strict. The legal BAC limit is 0.03%, much lower than most Western countries. Penalties include heavy fines, license suspension, and potential imprisonment.
