Common concerns with driver's license conversion

The pass rate for the driving exam is less than 20%.
Proper preparation is highly necessary

2. Long waiting times

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 Specified Skill Worker visa:
All the necessary driver's 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 driving manners, rules and methods

The pass rate for the driving test is extremely low at around 30%, so it is extremely important to take measures in advance.
