MandiMR2 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hi there, we just arrived in Adelaide last week. You can drive for up to 3 months with your UK licence, after then you have to apply for an Australian one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 You can drive on your uk one for as long as you are a temp resident. As soon as you get pr you have three months to get an sa licence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwise Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Can I transfer my Dubai DL to SA? Or I have to do the theory and practical driving tests, and Driving classes? Any idea how much does it cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're on a temporary visa, then you don't have to - people working in South Australia on temporary visas can drive with an overseas licence as long as that licence has not expired. If you're a permanent resident (with a current license) & you're aged over 20, then you'll have to first pass these three tests: theory test, hazard perception test, practical driving test. If you had a UK license (for example) you wouldn't have had to do the 3 tests, however for a UAE license, you have to do the tests. According to the govt website, theory test is $34, hazard perception test is $30, driving license is $43 plus $17 admin. Just have a read through https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/driving-and-transport/drivers-and-licences/drivers-licence/drivers-licence-transfer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
