auspanda25 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 HI guys Little bit confused about this, the OH is coming across on the spouse visa 309 so just wondering if she will have to change before 3months or is she classed as a visitor?? :err: I only ask because if she has 3 months then she will have to wait till 1 day before deadline because she will end up on 1st year P's and that seems to suck.

MARYROSE02 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Licence types The length of time you have held an overseas car or rider licence will determine the type of licence that you are eligible to hold in NSW. If you have held your overseas car or rider licence (except learner) for less than one year, you will only be eligible for a provisional P1 licence. If you have held a car or rider licence (except learner) for more than one year but less than three years, you will only be eligible for a provisional P2 licence. If you have held a car or rider licence (except learner) for more than three years, you will be eligible for an unrestricted licence. See the Road Users’ Handbook or visit the RTA website at http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au for descriptions of the different licence types. I would like to keep my overseas licence It is a legal requirement under Australian licensing laws that only one licence can be used for driving in Australia. Before a NSW licence will be issued, you must present your overseas licence so the details can be verified and recorded. The overseas licence will be returned to you unmarked, unless the overseas licensing authority has requested its return if a NSW licence is issued. Driving in NSW Once you have been issued with a NSW licence, it becomes the authority under which you can drive or ride on NSW roads. Your overseas licence is not recognised and has no authority whilst you are the holder of a NSW licence. When driving in NSW, you must comply with any conditions, restrictions or limitations that apply to your NSW licence. If you are requested by NSW Police to produce your licence in relation to a driving matter, you must produce your NSW driver licence. If you continue to hold overseas visitor status, you may surrender your NSW licence (including a learner licence) at any time. This is as long as your NSW driver licence is not suspended or cancelled. You may resume driving under the authority of your overseas licence as long as you are not disqualified from driving, you have not failed a driving test, your visiting driver privileges have not been withdrawn and your overseas licence remains current and valid.
