International students can drive on overseas license, but there are certain states and territories that restrict how long you can drive on overseas license.
We asked our community as well and most of the students are keen to know about the driving license process especially converting overseas license.
So, in this video we are going to explain the process on how to convert overseas license into Australian license.

please continue making informative videos like this ignoring less views. you are guiding us very much through your videos one day you will get views in millions i trust thanks for guiding us

[@overseasstudentsaustralia]

🙏🙏 Thank you so much friend. This is so heartening to hear. If it was about just views, then we wouldn't have lasted this long. But views helps to know that students are finding videos useful. Your comment is very comforting to hear and hopefully more students like yourself find videos helpful. We would also really appreciate if you do help us sharing the videos with your network.

It says on service nsw website if you are not a permanent resident and you have overseas license you can convert your overseas license to australian license if you wish so that means the timeframe only applies for permanent resident right?

[@alananthony7762]

I must say, you're doing an amazing job with this channel and I hope you keep up the amazing content. Just to expand on the video, I was just wondering if you can keep re-taking the final practical test however many times you want (including a fee of course) and if that's not possible and you end up with an L, if it might be better to consider an alternative option perhaps such as a log book system to directly get a P (albeit expensive), if such an option even exists. Again though, kudos on the comprehensive video ;)

One doubt here: Do I need to convert my overseas license even I arrive here as a temporary resident on a student visa or the conversion within 3/6 months is for permanent residents only ? There is some confusion about this for me. I am currently interpreting it like international students can drive for indefinite period as long as they are on temporary visa here, only once you're a permanent resident, you'll have to convert. Is my understanding correct ?

[@ciscoenzo6827]

that is also my understanding the ones on the nsw website hasnt change the only thing that i saw that they are changing the rules was from a newspaper and nothing else never so someone from the govt making a formal statement or something it says on the nsw services you can get the aus license if you wish so its clear its voluntary

To make it easier, if you already have an existing overseas license, it will shorten the process significantly. Otherwise, it is pretty long time to get full license with lots of restrictions

Very good question. You can try until you get driving license but you might need to wait a while before taking another test if you fail few consecutive times. As they will expect you to practise before taking test.
