Lino, Any driving license is valid for the period of 6 months after entering Russia, after 180 days you have to pass the tests and get the Russian driving license. Alternative solution is to get the International Driving License in your country, which is basically the book with translations in all major languages, but GIBDD will still be cautious about 180 days (though they should not in this case). The solution is to leave and enter Russia every 180 days if you do not want to mess with the local license procedures.

Can I assume that my Australian driver's license has the same applied to it? And given I'm not so used to the easy money bit, should I get it translated to avoid being lost in tran$lation? Best, Lino 2009/7/3 <[email protected]> Ciao Massimo: Your EU driving license is valid in Russia as long you will leave the country at least every half year. Sometimes GAIs try to request an official translation but as know there is no regulation in place. This is only a further possibility just to make easy money for police mens. If you speak Russian: http://www.gai.ru/PermisDeConduire/pddrf/ But it is important to have a DOVERENNOST (http://www.avtoko.ru/article.php?article=26 <http://www.avtoko.ru/article.php?article=26&category=21> &category=21 ) if the car is not your personal one. There is as well no translation of your passport needed because your visa was issued in Russian letters.

And it will be better to have notarized translation of your passport also. Regards, Anna > Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2009 21:10:48 +0400 > > I am italian and I have a regular working visa.
