Driving in Taiwan

The following information is given for indicative purposes only and should be verified by the Taiwanese authorities. 

Whether you are a resident or not, it is in any case not allowed to drive in Taiwan with your Belgian driver's license.

The procedure to follow differs depending on the length of your stay in Taiwan.

1st case: your stay in Taiwan does not exceed 30 days:

• You are only allowed to drive on the basis of your valid Belgian international driver's licence; bring the original Belgian driver's licence with you.

2nd case: you are staying in Taiwan for more than 30 days:

• An international driver's license issued on the basis of a Belgian driver's license allows you to drive in Taiwan for a period of 30 days. (bring along the original Belgian driver's licence) An extension for a maximum period of three months is possible (see the ‘Driver's license’ section on our website).
• If you plan to stay longer than 3 months, please contact the Taipei Representative Office in Brussels before your departure. It is also useful to consult the competent local authority: Taipei City Motor vehicles Office.

Belgians with a residence permit in Taiwan can obtain a Taiwanese license based on their Belgian license, which must first be translated and legalized in Belgium by the Taipei Representative Office in Brussels.
