As title says, can I exchange my Irish driving license for a US one as an Immigrant? Or do I need to go through the whole process?Irish license holders can drive in the U.S. for up to three months. US citizens are permitted to drive in Ireland for the duration of a visit up to 12 months as a tourist. Find out what you'll need to do if you plan on driving abroad with an Irish driving licence, including working and studying abroad for a fixed time. Bring the completed form, required documentation, and appropriate fees to the location listed in applicable section of the foreign driver's licenses page. I was in a similar situation. If your driver's license is from a country with a bilateral agreement with Portugal, you will have up to 2 years to exchange it for a Portuguese licence. In principle, you are not required to complete a driving test in connection with the exchange. Driving licenses issued in a former EU or EEA country.
