Driving Licence
If you want to drive in Hong Kong, all you need if a valid from your own town country. If your country is a recognised and approved one, then it is all you need.
Check here to find out if you are from an 'approved' country from the Transport Department. Otherwise there
is still the option to get your own Hong Kong driving licence. You will have to pass a driving test with three parts which are a written exam, an exam on driving techniques
and a practical road test.
