I’m a US citizen and I’m planning on visiting Langkawi Island in Malaysia this upcoming January for a vacation. I’ve looked into the rules for driving but, I’m a little confused. I know I need a valid driver license (which I have) and an IDP (which I do not have). I’ve been living in China for a quite some years and am unable to make it back to the USA to get the IDP. Is there a way for me to still acquire one before my trip? Or alternatively is there a way to acquire a temporary Malaysian license?
