Nice information.

 

I got few questions.

 

International driving license is valid only for 1 year, even if we have 3 years valid visa?

 

Whole process is completed in single day, i.e till you get the International driving license in hand?

Very informative.

I don't know that we can book a online slot. Good move by the government.

Apart from International driving license many other facilities are available online now.

Its time to explore :fight:

Previously they used provide only a booklet.

Now they are providing International driving card also?

[shiva]

Perfect timing.

 

I planning to apply for international driving license.

 

So this process should be started once the visa stamping is done?

 

Can we go to any RTO or we should only go the RTO which has given our driving license?

Yeah now they are providing both book and card.

I am not sure about this.

I though it is better is to visit the RTO which has issued your driving license.

I travelled from Gachibowli to Uppal for the same reason.:angry:
