Two Routes

For Indians, it comes down to two paths

Indians generally take the full Korean test — and SDA is the only school near Seoul that runs it entirely in English.

Path A · License Exchange

Exchange (usually not available)

India generally isn't on Korea's written-test-exemption list, so a straight licence exchange usually isn't an option for Indian residents.

  • Most Indian residents are not eligible for test-free exchange
  • Always confirm your case on the official KoROAD page
  • India is an Apostille Convention member (MEA), but that authenticates documents — it doesn't by itself grant test exemption
  • When exchange isn't available, the full test is the route — see the right
Verify first: the recognized-country list is set by National Police Agency notice and can change. Confirm India on the official KoROAD exchange page before you file.
Path B · Full Test in English

Take the full course & test

SDA is the only school near Seoul that runs the entire process — theory, written test, and road test — in English. Ideal for IT professionals, students, and families.

  • Written test (40 questions) available in English
  • Theory class, materials, and road practice all in English
  • Works around professional and student schedules
  • About 10 days from registration to licence

Indian FAQ

Questions from Indians

Can Indians exchange an Indian licence without a test?
Usually not. India generally isn't on Korea's written-test-exemption list, so most Indian residents take the full Korean test. Confirm your own case on the official KoROAD page — and note the test can be taken in English.
India is in the Apostille Convention — doesn't that let me exchange?
An apostille (from India's MEA) authenticates a document, but on its own it doesn't grant test exemption — that depends on whether Korea recognizes Indian licences for exchange, which generally it doesn't. So plan for the full test, available in English, unless KoROAD confirms otherwise for your case.
Is the test hard to take in English?
The written test is available in English, and SDA's theory class and materials are in English, so language isn't the barrier. Practising the standard question patterns is the key to passing first time.
Can I keep using an IDP once I'm a resident?
An IDP is for visitors under 90 days. As a resident with an ARC you should get a Korean licence rather than rely on an IDP, so it's best to sort it out soon after you arrive.

Not sure which path is yours?

Tell us your license and status in Korea. We'll confirm whether you exchange or take the full test — in plain English, usually within a few hours.
