🚗 Getting the driving license in Spain can take forever!! 👀
If you’re a non-EU expat, your foreign license is usually valid for only 6 months after residency 🇪🇸
Good news: Spain has exchange agreements with countries like:
🇦🇷 Argentina
🇨🇴 Colombia
🇨🇱 Chile
🇵🇪 Peru
🇺🇾 Uruguay
🇧🇷 Brazil
🇲🇦 Morocco
🇯🇵 Japan
🇰🇷 South Korea
🇬🇧 UK
🇨🇭 Switzerland
⚠ BUT your license normally must have been issued BEFORE becoming a Spanish resident.
And one more thing…if your country has no exchange agreement then you need to think in advance...
📅 DGT appointments in Barcelona & Madrid can take forever.
Start early — waiting lists between the theory exam and the practical exam is 5 months😅
Save this post 📌 and send it to another expat in Spain.
