Concerns when switching foreign driver's licenses

1. Pass Rate

When converting your license
The pass rate for the driving exam is about 30%.
A very low chance of passing if you are unprepared

2. Reservation status issues

Driver's License Centers experience
severe congestion due to the high demand for license conversions
Driving test reservation has a waiting time of
2 to 4 months

3. Issues with the acquisition period

In the case of the Specific Skills: Automobile Transportation Industry" visa:
All the necessary licenses must be obtained
within the assigned period

- The reason behind the low pass rate for the driving exam -

  • 1. Lack of understanding of Japanese-style driving manners, such as safety checks
  • 2. Not used to driving on the left side of the road
  • 3. Not being able to understand driving instructions in Japanese
  • 4. Tension caused by having an examiner in the car

Don't worry!
The "Ziplus Fast-Track Package" will solve all your problems!
