They will still be required to pass a Hong Kong test to obtain
a Hong Kong driving licence, even if they already hold an overseas
driving licence.
*This distinction is drawn because eligibility for a HK driving
licence in exchange for an overseas one is intended only as a means of
meeting HK's obligations for reciprocal concessions to overseas drivers
under international Conventions." Mr. Wilson said.
"It is not intended as a means of making it easier for a HK
resident to obtain a HK driving licence."
Eligible holders of overseas driving licences may apply at once,
in person or by post, to the Transport Department licensing offices at
Rumsey Street, HK, or Pui Ching Road, Kowloon, for the immediate issue
of a HK driving licence.
They will be required to pay a fee of $50 for one year (or $150 for three years) and supply three passport-sized photographs and their non-
Hong Kong travel document.
Anyone who has any doubt may telephone 5-432617 for information
before applying.
