    Drivers license

    Is it possible to "swap" my drivers license to a Hong Kong one or do I need to take a test?

    I'm really hoping it's possible to NOT take a test......

    Thanks!

    It depends on what country you're from. This should help.

    Thanks historian,

    I currently hold a drivers license from Andorra, which is not on the list.

    Does this mean I need to go through the entire license process for Hong Kong? Or is there a sort of expedited process for those who hold a license but just can't swap it?

    If your home country is on the list, all you have to do is full in some forms. It's as painless as you could expect.

    Unfortunately my country isn't on the list - I have a drivers license from Andorra.

    Does this mean I need to take the test locally?

    Yes you should check with the driving school. Unfortunately won't be fun and you need to follow the method closely.

    I thought this may be the case. Not ideal, another cost and hassle but I suppose it will be worth it in the end!
