hi, meron po ba dito now residing in SA na nagpaconvert ng foreign license (e.g. SG license)? Will SA be taking your foreign license once you applied successfully for conversion?
Kase sabi sa website nila you "may" be required to surrender your overseas DL. Yun friend ko kase sa Victoria said hinde naman daw kinuha yun foreign DL kaya he can still drive in PH and US since he was able to keep both PH and US DLs after he did the AU DL conversion. Not sure if iba-iba per state. TIA po sa magrereply.

goodluck pre, drive ka na lang as per what you read or learned sa pag ddrive (basic).
tips: 1.) give way lagi sa right especially sa round abouts. 2.) full stop ka pag may full stop sign or heavy (not broken) line. 3.) look over your shoulder and use your signal lights everytime you switch lane. (3 second-rule apply) 4.) concentrate on road, kung nagsasalita ang examiner or tinatanong ka, as much as possible yes or no lang sagot mo. (pero parang hindi ng sasalita ang examiner pag nasa drive test na.unless when she/he told you of what to do.) 5.) learn to manoeuver 3-point turn and reverse/parallel parking. 6.) if I were you, kumuha ka ng driving instructor to teach you more or give you more tips.

Sa nsw, ano bng kelangan itake na exam to covert ph dl? DQT b Or lahat ng 3 exams?
PH license is not recognise here...
You take the theory exam, the hazard perception and the actual driving test.
may hazard perception na ba Sir? dati kasi eyesight test, theory exam and actual driving test
RTA (Roads and Traffic Authority) pa kasi noon sa akin nung nag exam ako, ewan ko lang ngayon kasi RMS (Roads and Maritime Services) na sila sa NSW.
There probably is... Google is the answer to everything mate!
I am basing it on the fact that ganyan dito sa VIC when I got my license last year; I reckon pare parehas lang ang mga requirement ng mga states.
ay sorry po Sir. hehe...kala ko from NSW kayo e VIC pala ang state nyo.
when you say "Google is the answer to everything" it seems na nag contradict kayo dito "I reckon pare parehas lang ang mga requirement ng mga states"

i didn't google for the specific answer bud because i was not interested in knowing...
but going back, as far as i know, all these transport agencies handling drivers license - they seem to have the same set of requirements when applying for one.

No, Like in ACT your Driving Instructor can give you a log book, it will basically say you have an ability to drive a safely, you give this to log book to licensing office and they will give you your license
but going back, as far as i know, all these transport agencies handling drivers license -they seem to have the same set of requirements when applying for one.
Not quite... some friends in AU have confirmed this and google can confirm this as well Needless to say, better check the state one will be drivin to ensure about the specific requirements, as well as the laws/rules.

all the best!
yup, halos pare parehas, me maga konting dagdag lang siguro kagaya ng sinabi mo na hazard perception test.
may mga pinoy pa din kasi na kumukuha ng Int Drivers Lic sa LTO bago pumunta ng Au, e pwede naman na hindi ipa convert sa IDL ang licence. Yung iba nagbabayad pa ata sa fixer para lang mapadali ang pag issue ng IDL.
In NSW kse meron dkt, hpt & dqt. Dqt ang exam from p2 to full license. Just not sure kng ano ittake to convert from ph dl.

for PR visa holders, there is no need to get an Intl DL.. your PH license is valid (3 months for most states)...
there is no such thing as converting your PH DL to an AU DL... (so this thread's title is technically incorrect .. lol)..
yes your PH DL can help you skip the P-License classification.. provided you satisfy other conditions such as if your PH DL > 2years .. but still all PH DL will need to take the theory test, and all practical driving test... within 3 months of arrival... standard yan for all states..
please correct me if im wrong..

for PR visa holders, there is no need to get an Intl DL.. your PH license is valid (3 months for most states)...
there is no such thing as converting your PH DL to an AU DL... (so this thread's title is technically incorrect .. lol)..
yes your PH DL can help you skip the P-License classification.. provided you satisfy other conditions such as if your PH DL > 2years .. but still all PH DL will need to take the theory test, and all practical driving test... within 3 months of arrival... standard yan for all states..
please correct me if im wrong..
tama yan brod, kahit naka 457 visa ka e pwede yung non prof licence from pinas. nangyari sa akin na na skipped ko yung P Lic classification nung pumasa ako sa driving test from Phil Non Prof Licence (dahil more than 3yrs na ako nag ddrive sa pinas na kahit wala naman akong sasakyan dun alam nyo naman sa LTO - lol).

salamat po nito. so tama nga, hindi na ako kukuha pa ng DL sa Pinas. doon nalang sa Au soon. Maybe pag may job na (if need talaga) & familiar na sa Adelaide.
I have a question re: license. If you take the driving test using an automatic shift car, does that mean that you are not allowed to drive a manual shift car? Kase gusto ko sana mag aral and mag exam using auto para hindi masyado hassle yung pag shift pero I am thinking of going back to manual in the future. Does that mean na mag driving test ulet? Nakaka stress ang driving test dami ko bad habits. lol.

@ten2six yung sa case ko on a 457 visa, I took the actual driving test sa RTA using an automatic transmission car. Nung pumasa ako, full licence class C ang binigay sa kin with condition "Q" (Q for not a permanent resident). walang nakalagay sa licence ko kung may restriction (manual or automatic).
Yung Phil Non Prof licence ko ay restriction 2 at 2003 first issued. I took the driving test sa RTA nung 2009 (in this case, more than 5years na ako ng ddrive).
Mas maganda kung mag inquire ka sa RMS (RTA before) about your query. Baka may bearing yung driving experience mo sa pag issue ng "automatic only licence" or full licence.
By the way, I assume na nasa Sydney ka as per your timeline.

the car that i used in the driving exam was automatic; the license i got was without any restrictions naman.

Kase sabi sa website nila you "may" be required to surrender your overseas DL. Yun friend ko kase sa Victoria said hinde naman daw kinuha yun foreign DL kaya he can still drive in PH and US since he was able to keep both PH and US DLs after he did the AU DL conversion. Not sure if iba-iba per state. TIA po sa magrereply.

tips:
1.) give way lagi sa right especially sa round abouts.
2.) full stop ka pag may full stop sign or heavy (not broken) line.
3.) look over your shoulder and use your signal lights everytime you switch lane. (3 second-rule apply)
4.) concentrate on road, kung nagsasalita ang examiner or tinatanong ka, as much as possible yes or no lang sagot mo. (pero parang hindi ng sasalita ang examiner pag nasa drive test na.unless when she/he told you of what to do.)
5.) learn to manoeuver 3-point turn and reverse/parallel parking.
6.) if I were you, kumuha ka ng driving instructor to teach you more or give you more tips.

I am basing it on the fact that ganyan dito sa VIC when I got my license last year; I reckon pare parehas lang ang mga requirement ng mga states.

may mga pinoy pa din kasi na kumukuha ng Int Drivers Lic sa LTO bago pumunta ng Au, e pwede naman na hindi ipa convert sa IDL ang licence.
Yung iba nagbabayad pa ata sa fixer para lang mapadali ang pag issue ng IDL.

there is no such thing as converting your PH DL to an AU DL... (so this thread's title is technically incorrect .. lol)..
yes your PH DL can help you skip the P-License classification.. provided you satisfy other conditions such as if your PH DL > 2years .. but still all PH DL will need to take the theory test, and all practical driving test... within 3 months of arrival... standard yan for all states..
please correct me if im wrong..

yung sa case ko on a 457 visa, I took the actual driving test sa RTA using an automatic transmission car. Nung pumasa ako, full licence class C ang binigay sa kin with condition "Q" (Q for not a permanent resident). walang nakalagay sa licence ko kung may restriction (manual or automatic).
Yung Phil Non Prof licence ko ay restriction 2 at 2003 first issued. I took the driving test sa RTA nung 2009 (in this case, more than 5years na ako ng ddrive).
Mas maganda kung mag inquire ka sa RMS (RTA before) about your query.
Baka may bearing yung driving experience mo sa pag issue ng "automatic only licence" or full licence.
By the way, I assume na nasa Sydney ka as per your timeline.
