Hello nice people!
So I have a quick question, a friend just moved to Korea for work. He has a regular working visa and will be here for 5 years.

He asked me something about converting his driving license into a Korean one. He told me to get the Korean one you need to leave your home country one with them and you can get back only if you leave the country?! Is it true?!

I did a quick search online and it’s seems to be true but I still wanted to ask you guys cos I have never knew about it….. still learning things about Korea after so long….. Also I took my first ever driving license here in Korea so I didn’t know….. kkkk

Thanks for the answers.
