Hi, we are looking at relocating from Greece to Spain, Almeria in particular. Most advice on here and other forums, even the Spainish government website relates to UK residents moving and importing a car. Obviously Greece is in the EU and we already have biometric residency permits so some of the obvious boxes have already been ticked.



I know we can import our car but what about our driving licences? Will we have to take the Spanish driving test?

Thanks

As your Greek licence is an EU licence, then it’s a straight swap for Spanish Carnet de Conducir

As well as your car it should be a straight swap a good Gestor in your area should be able to do it for you or aleast advise on reregistering

Thanks both of you, seems quite straightforward. Would hate to have to take my test again especially after driving an automatic for years!
