The electric retractable view device for a vehicle includes a view device rotating section including a view section body mounted therein, a rotation support section that supports the view device rotating section so as to be rotatable relative to a predetermined rotation axis, and an electric driving mechanism that electrically moves the view device rotating section to either of a retracted position and an extended position. The electric driving mechanism includes a motor, and a power transmission mechanism that transmits a drive force of the motor to the view device rotating section to rotate the view device rotating section in the direction around the rotation axis. The power transmission mechanism includes a double-threaded worm, and one or more motor-side worms disposed on the motor side relative to the double-threaded worm. Each of the one or more motor-side worms is a single-threaded worm.
