Antigua and Barbuda

Summary
Name Antigua and Barbuda
Note Unfortunately the driver's license and international driving permit (IDP) issued in Antigua and Barbuda is not valid to drive in Japan.
I will explain if anybody who has the driver's license issued by Antigua and Barbuda is allowed to drive in Japan.

Unfortunately, any driver's license and internaitonal driver's permit issued in Antigua and Barbuda is not valid to drive in Japan.

To drive a vehicle legally in Japan, you will need a driver's license. The necessary documentation needed to issue a deriver's license does not depend on the driver's Nationality but depends on which country the driver's license is issued from and which country the driver resides in.

Unfortunately the driver's license and international driving permit (IDP) issued in Antigua and Barbuda is not valid to drive in Japan.

Japan is only affiliated in the 1949 Geneva Convention and Antigua and Barbuda is not affiliated in the 1949 Geneva Convention.

Also, Japan does not have a individual treaty regarding driving in each others country.

It is very confusing but, there are countries that issue a international driving permit (IDP) very similar to the 1949 Geneva Convention even though the country is not affiliated to the 1949 Geneva Convention.
In that particular international driving permit (IDP), it may state that Japan is a affiliated under the 1949 Geneva Convention, and seems as if it is valid to drive in Japan. But Japan is very strict regarding the international regulation, therefore that particular international driving permit (IDP) is not valid to drive in Japan.

In the future, if Antigua and Barbuda affiliates under the 1949 Geneva Convention, the international driving permit (IDP) under the 1949 Geneva Convention in the proper format and issued by the respectable government branch or assigned agent will be valid to drive in Japan.
