    Quote ko lang po yung sinabi on getting a Driver’s Licence in NSW (http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/licence/moving-to-nsw.html)
    If you’re a permanent Australian resident, or hold a permanent visa under the Commonwealth Migration Act 1958, and you intend to stay in NSW, you are not considered to be a visitor. As such, you are allowed to drive in NSW on a current overseas licence for a maximum of three months.
    Tanong lang po with regards to the “three month” rule, nag-Initial Entry ako ng Dec2014 for 6 days only in Sydney and I never drove while I was in there.

    Currently, I’m overseas, but I plan to come back to Oz this coming Dec2015, for good…. Kung magddrive na ko sa Dec2015, dun pa lang ba magsstart yung counting ng 3 months or noon pang last 2014, although hindi naman ako nag-drive?

    @islaman at iba pang nasa SA, eto naman yung requirements para sa atin.. share ko lang ang nareview ko today.

    Mga kailangan (20 yrs old pataas):

    1. Pinas non-pro DL
    2. Theory test
    3. Hazard Perception Test
    4. practical driving test, with an authorised examiner.

    After passing a practical driving test with a private authorised examiner, a further practical driving test with a government assessment officer is sometimes required. This is part of the government audit process and is called a validation assessment. There is no charge for this test.

    When you have passed these driving tests you will receive a certificate of competency.

    Present your certificate of competency at a Service SA customer service centre and apply for a South Australian driver's licence.

    After you have paid the fee and had your photograph taken, a temporary driver's licence will be issued and your photo licence will be posted to you.

    If you do not pass the practical driving test, or you fail a validation assessment, you can apply for a learner's permit.

    Kitakits sa ADL!!!!

    @IslanderndCity - 3 months sabi ni @islaman nasa SA na silang pamilya.

    Kung wala kang DL, daan ka sa proseso ng learners permit, provisionary, then full DL. Parang yung basa ko nasa 2-3 years na proseso. At marami restrictions yung learners permit at prov.

    Wala din kaming lisensya magasawa kaya no choice uwi muna pinas para magasikaso bago magoz.

    @peach17 @sonsi_03 so sa mga wala pang DL and may chance pa na makauwi sa Pinas, the steps are:
    1. Get DL sa Pinas either pro or non-pro
    2. Within 3 months after Au arrival, need to take theory exam kahit wala pang own sasakyan
    3. After theory exam, my Pinas DL will be converted to Au non-pro DL kahit wala pa din akong own car and good for 1 year ang DL na'to.
    Au non-pro DL means I can 'solo' drive na...

    Tama po?

    @IslanderndCity mali yata...

    first, get ph DL, then upon entry sa oz, within 3 months e need mo na ng Au DL, im assuming na PR ka na pagpasok mo ng oz...

    need mo kumuha ng theory exam sa DOT, after mong makapasa sa theory exam e magpapa book ka na ng practical test sa DOT mismo, right after the theory exam...ipapakita mo ung ph DL mo sa kanila at mga documents to prove ur identity...then pwede ka na magpractical exam...

    take note na within 3 months e need mo na iconvert ung ph DL mo or else e hinde ka na pwede magdrive...though marami rin naman pinoy na nagdridrive pa rin kahit hinde pa converted ung ph DL nila...hehehe

    @peach17 @sonsi_03 so sa mga wala pang DL and may chance pa na makauwi sa Pinas, the steps are:
    1. Get DL sa Pinas either pro or non-pro
    2. Within 3 months after Au arrival, need to take theory exam kahit wala pang own sasakyan
    3. After theory exam, my Pinas DL will be converted to Au non-pro DL kahit wala pa din akong own car and good for 1 year ang DL na'to.
    Au non-pro DL means I can 'solo' drive na...

    Tama po?
    ung # 2 hehe.... wala namang restriction na within 3 months ka lang pwede kumuha ng theory exam. Anytime pwede. Basta take note mo lang yung expiration ng DL mo :)

    @IslanderndCity mali yata...

    first, get ph DL, then upon entry sa oz, within 3 months e need mo na ng Au DL, im assuming na PR ka na pagpasok mo ng oz...

    need mo kumuha ng theory exam sa DOT, after mong makapasa sa theory exam e magpapa book ka na ng practical test sa DOT mismo, right after the theory exam...ipapakita mo ung ph DL mo sa kanila at mga documents to prove ur identity...then pwede ka na magpractical exam...

    take note na within 3 months e need mo na iconvert ung ph DL mo or else e hinde ka na pwede magdrive...though marami rin naman pinoy na nagdridrive pa rin kahit hinde pa converted ung ph DL nila...hehehe


    hi @dhey_almighty, iba na yung process dito sa SA. Wala na yung 3 months na restriction :)

    @peach17 - sa SA po ba yan na policy na theory lamg tapos 1 year grant, tapos using standard nonpro dl lang? Salamat

    hi @rareking, yes :) sa SA po:)

    Theory Exam and then mabbigyan ka permit to drive for 1 year.
    Then bago mag 1 year need mo mag Actual Exam and take the Hazard Perception Test.

    i-edit ko summary sa SA based sa feedback nyo.
    So sa mga wala pang DL and may chance pa na makauwi sa Pinas, the steps are:
    1. Get DL sa Pinas either pro or non-pro.
    2. Once nasa Au na & hindi pa expire and Pinas DL, take theory exam kahit wala pang own sasakyan (no work/adjustment mode pa :) )
    3. After theory exam, my Pinas DL will be converted to Au non-pro DL kahit wala pa din akong own car and good for 1 year ang DL na'to.
    4. Before mag-1-year, take Actual Exam and take the Hazard Perception Test.
    5. Once passed #4, then I'll have my Au Pro DL na

    Correct po?

    hi @dhey_almighty, iba na yung process dito sa SA. Wala na yung 3 months na restriction :)
    Hi @peach17, pa-share naman po kung san galing yun info na wala na yun 3mos requirement. Kase some of my friends here are saying na need na magtake agad ng exam at kumuha ng DL within 3 mos pagdating dito for PRs. And that is the same info posted in SA Gov site, which I pasted below. TIA.

    New residents
    If you get a permanent visa and become a resident, you must get your South Australian driver's licence within three months.

    pero lahat kami ng mga pinoy friends ko (PR Visa) na dumating dito ng 2013 ganun.... ung permit ko mag eexpire this August 2015. Took the exam last year AUgust 2014.
