International Licence Conversion Driving Lessons QLD

If you hold an overseas driver licence and need help converting it to a Queensland driver licence, professional preparation is essential. Rightway Driving specialises in helping international licence holders understand Queensland requirements and pass with confidence.


Queensland Transport Rules for Overseas Licence Conversion

Queensland Transport and Main Roads sets clear rules for driving on and converting an overseas licence. The requirements depend on your visa status, how long you have lived in Queensland, and the country that issued your licence.

  • You may drive in Queensland on a valid overseas licence for a limited time if you are visiting. 
  • Permanent visa holders must transfer to a Queensland licence after living in Queensland for 3 months.
  • Learners may be required to sit a written road rules test, a practical driving test, or both, depending on the recognition status of their overseas licence. 
  • If your licence is not in English, a recognised English translation must be provided. 
  • Conditions on your overseas licence (such as manual or automatic restrictions) may carry over.
