Validity of driver's license in a EU country

Upvote:8

Basically yes, at least to the extent that a tourist coming directly from the country that issued your license would be allowed to drive with it. Non-EU license validity is handled at the national level, not at the EU level. Your stay in another EU country doesn't make a difference.

However, it also means that some countries recognize a slightly different set of licenses or have different requirements for their exchange. The 1-year threshold is not universal either.

Technically, some countries also require that you had been a resident in the country where you obtained your license at the time when you obtained it but I assume this was the case and it's unlikely to even come up for visitors (it's a somewhat circumvoluted way to ban license tourism by people who are banned from obtaining a license in their country of residence).
