Guest duckypower Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hey guy, I have a 457 visa and my understanding is that I won't need a WA licence as I am 'working temporarily in WA' as per this link http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/lic_overseas_drivers_fact_sheet.pdf and can drive on my UK licence. The questions is, can I buy a car in WA without a WA licence? Cheers :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaj Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Quick answer is yes. We brought s car last September and only last month did hubs transfer his licence. We were told that you had to transfer it within the first 12 months of being here, after that you have to retake your test - not sure if this is true but we didn't want to take the risk lol good luck Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
