In order to drive in Estonia, a foreign visitor from non-European Union countries must have both a valid driver license issued by his domestic country and a valid International driving permit. To obtain an Estonian driver license, a person must live in Estonia for at least 185 days during the previous year. All individuals wanted to obtain an Estonian license must pass both a theoretical and practical exams. A driver license issued by country which is a member of the Vienna Convention (1968) on road traffic is exchanged without exams. A driver license issued by country which is a member of the Geneva Convention (1949) on road traffic is replaced to Estonian driving permit only after successful passage of the theory exam and the driving test.
