Generally, a tourist from a non-EU/EEA country can drive in Spain with their valid foreign license for up to six months. After this period, they would typically need to obtain a Spanish license if they establish residency.
The 'Canje' (exchange) process involves replacing a foreign driving license with an equivalent Spanish one. This is mandatory for residents from certain countries after a specific period, or voluntary for EU/EEA license holders.
An IDP is typically required for drivers from non-EU/EEA countries whose licenses are not recognised by bilateral agreement, especially if their national license is not in Spanish or accompanied by an official translation. It must always be presented alongside your valid national license and has a validity of one year.
If you become a resident in Spain, you are generally required to re-register your foreign-plated vehicle with Spanish plates within one month of establishing your residency. This involves obtaining a Spanish ITV card and paying relevant taxes before applying to the DGT.
Driving licenses issued in an EU Member State or the EEA (Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway) are valid in Spain as long as they are current. Exchanging a valid EU/EEA license is generally voluntary, but becomes mandatory upon expiration or if it has an indefinite validity period after two years of ordinary residence in Spain.
