How long can I use my international license/ PH license before I would need to secure an Au license? I will be going on 457, hindi po migrant/PR. I understand may kaibahan?
Thanks!

Teka lang po ha, may nababasa lang ako sa link na bigay niyo. Just so I'm clear....
It states: "authority to drive on foreign lic will be withdrawn if:
- medically unfit
- become a citizen
- become a resident and have been x 3 months.
Resident visa are those that have permanent visas and are allowed to stay indefintely. Other visas - temporary, business, guardian are not resident visa."
Hmmm... I wont be going as permanent resident and therefore I MIGHT just be able to use my license. THAT IS, kung tama po pagkakaintindi ko. Correct me if I'm wrong po. Hindi naman din sinabi for how long I can use the international lic. .
Ay, sinulat pala nila. For as long as it's valid in the country of issue.

Ay, ayan na. May link din kayo. Ok, I get it already. Thanks heaps!
I doubt it will take me 4 years para makaKuha ng Au lic. Baka in the first year. Pero masyado kasi short ang 3 months palugit Sir. In the first 3 months, ang concern ko lang nyan malamang ay hindi mawala sa loob ng hospital at lamunin ng rotation! Kaya one less worry talaga if I can extend the life of the Ph lic.
Anyway, thanks po sa lahat ng mga nag-input.

Sir @totoyozresident: they can sponsor under Employer nomination. Which is what I'm gunning for. What we all are, I suppose. But after ko na comply part 2 exams (I've done one) AND required rotations (like OB, surg, emergency med). Med Board requirement (and therefore, DIAC who hinges on the assessment of the Med Board), no choice kahit sino employer in any state to retain employees permanently.
Sa kanila lang din ako hihingi ng rotation, 2 months lang naman. Yaman din lamang at employed nako sa kanila. Tatawid lang naman ako ng kalye, adult hospital na. Mother and children hosp pa ako in my 1st yr.
The biggest hurdle is the exam. Low passing rate daw kasi Pinoy .
