    ye agree kay @rjlim wag na kayo mag aksaya ng panahon sa LTO certification. Sayang lang effort at pamasahe niyo papunta LTO. yung Drivers license niyo lang ang kelangan dito pag mag aapply ng AU drivers license.

    Wala po bearing yan sir. If more than 3 years ka na nag dridrive once nakapasa ka na sa online at practical test straight to full license ka. Hindi po kelangan ng LTO certificate yung mismong PH drivers license lang po ang kelangan.

    Hello, meron po ba dito nakapag initial entry ng hindi nakapag PDOS?

    Yes, our family - but my advice, attend PDOS first. We were held at the PH immigration counter for several minutes before the officer, after much consulting with his superior, allowed us to exit due to humanitarian grounds.

    can i confirm na ang PDOS is for those who are holding permanent visa? for 489 visa or temporary no need right? tama po ba ako?

    Thanks @..arki_ malaki ba benefit nito for apply AU drivers license? Kapag meron ba nito, pwede na apply straight to full license?
    Thanks.

    Wala po bearing yan sir. If more than 3 years ka na nag dridrive once nakapasa ka na sa online at practical test straight to full license ka. Hindi po kelangan ng LTO certificate yung mismong PH drivers license lang po ang kelangan.

    yup, pag from Pinas wala syang gamit. dito naman samin sa Singapore, yung iba nag submit ng LTO cert sa SG LTA para ma-convert PH to SG Licence then direct conversion na yung SG to AU. pero d ko pa to na-try, next month ko pa gawin.

    Oh I see, mas madali nga yun kesa mag take ulit ng exam dito. Medyo mahigpit driving exams dito naka ilang beses ako bago naka pasa. haha

    ohh ayos pala na mag convert convert na :smile:
    kelangan ko lang mag written exam dito sa SG to convert
    sana hindi magka prob

    I think PR is allowed but may need to self quarantine if PH is included in the advisory

    Ask ko lang po pano ipakita na more than 3 years na Yun Ph Drivers Licence? Wla naman kasi nakalagay na date of issue dun sa card mismo (I know para sa tin mga Pinoy makikita Yun year of first issue sa licence number but not sure kung alam sa Australia Yun)

    In my experience, nag rely lang sila dun sa form na finifillupan mo. Dun mo ilalagay anong year ka unang nagka license. Paano nila iveverify? that I don't know.

    Afaik the second digits of your licence number indicates the year you've got your licence.

    e.g. D06-12-123456, meaning 2012.

    Yes napa convert ko yung PH license ko to SG license then full AU license dito sa SA.

    1. Get certification sa LTO
    2. Schedule a test (mine was in Bukit Batok Driving centre)
    3. Take the Computer test
    4. Pagkatapos ng test, may result agad
    5. Submit requirements sa Counter, they will issue a temporary license
    6. You will receive your SG license via mail
    7. Go Service SA then submit requirements
    8. You will receive your full AU license via mail

    I strongly suggest na mag take pa din ng driving lessons bago kayo mag drive dito and make sure to know the rules.
