Guest Bet Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I am moving to State of Vicotria, and I was lead to believe that you are only aloud to drive on a UK licence for 3 months, but it differs for all states. Can anyone confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cal Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I've heard that it depends what visa class you have :?: Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bet Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Thanks for the link John, as quoted depends on state and type of visa. We have a permanent residency so as I thought we can only drive on our Uk licence for three months, one good thing though, no need to retake and tests, horah,, well it was over 12 years since I done my test and at that time there was no written.

Guest afs Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Thanks for the info - the VicRoads link is very useful - temp visa can drive on overseas licence for indefinite period, permanent visa - 3 months. Also appears that if you are from a country on their list, we don't have to undertake any tests for conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vaalie Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 If you are a permanent resident in South Aus then you have 3 months in which to do your theory test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, If you are in Victoria on a permanent visa (I.e a non 1 year working holiday visa or Tourist Visa) you can drive on your overseas licence for only three months from the date you entered Victoria or from the time a permanent visa was issued to you. If you want to continue to drive in Victoria after that time you must apply for a Victorian driver licence If you hold a driver licence from one of the following countries you are not required to undertake any tests provided your overseas licence is current or not expired by more than five years. Austria Japan Belgium Luxembourg Canada Netherlands (Holland) Croatia Norway Denmark Portugal Finland Singapore France Spain Germany Sweden Greece Switzerland Ireland UK Italy USA All of this has previously been discussed in this section, between Bet and myself.
