Precautions when driving in countries that have signed the Geneva Convention
There are many things to keep in mind, such as the direction of vehicle movement depending on the country, the driver’s seat orientation, and overtaking methods.
Even in Japan, unlike Korea, vehicles must drive on the left side, so we recommend that you know the precautions in the country you will be driving in before leaving the country.

The risk of accidents is often high because there are many sudden stops, lane changes, and reckless driving. In addition, there are many one-way streets in the city center, and you should be careful to avoid collisions when driving.
Passport photo regulations (check in advance)
Passport photos can be a bit confusing and difficult as they have to adhere to global standards. If you take a passport photo and go to the passport office, the staff at the counter who checks the passport photo may ask you to take another photo.

Vehicles drive on the left, but the driver’s seat is located on the right. You must drive carefully as the transportation system in Korea is the opposite, and wearing a seat belt is essential, so a car seat is essential.
