Hi
Need some advice please. We’re looking to move to the region in October of this year. The question I have relates to driving licences. As an Irish passport holder would I have to retake my test to obtain a Spanish license?
Hello, it's not so much about the passport you hold but the licence you have and where it was issued. If a UK licence and unless there is agreement between the Spanish and UK governments before then you will have to retake your test here in Spain, both practical and theory. If you have a licence issued in Eire then that would just be a straight exchange with nothing more than a medical required.
