What is the driving eligibility for Indian International students in Australia? Can they drive on their Indian license?
Yes, absolutely. As long as you have a full Indian Driver’s license, you can drive in Australia until you get your permanent residency. Once you get your PR, you have three months to convert your Indian driving license into an Australian license.
What about people who come on a permanent residency to Australia?
Those people can also drive on their Indian license for three months. They will need to convert their license into an Australian license within those three months.
Same applies to people on the spouse visa. They can drive on their Indian license until they get their PR. Then they have three months to get the Australian Driver’s license.
