There are people who come to India from other countries for professional as well as personal reasons. Let’s take a detailed look at the different aspects of driving licenses for NRIs and foreigners. Those who already have driving licenses in their home countries will not have much difficulty when it comes to getting a driving license. RTOs have a specific set of guidelines for issuing driving licenses to drivers from foreign countries. Even if they have a driving license in their home/residing countries, they must obtain a license in India if they wish to drive their motor vehicles within India.
This is applicable for NRIs and foreigners as well. Driving in India requires a valid driving license issued by the Regional Transport Office (RTO) in India.
