I guess it will depend on the laws in the particular state(s) you will be driving in - I understand there are differences.

Couple of issues there, Muddy:
1. I am not sure that an International Driving Permit is valid in your home country
2. if the "trouble" you have with your Oz license means that it is suspended/cancelled, it could also mean further grief if you are caught offending, or have a prang.
As I said above - google is your friend.

Hi Mudguard
When in Aussieland I go to Victoria.....I have checked at VICROADS for a Thai friend coming to stay a month or 3....VICROADS tell me if the friend has a valid and current Thai driver's licence, then an International licence can be granted to drive on for a period of 6 months (I think)......the RACV issue International licences.....however (there's always an however) if you have a "problem" with your Aussie drivers licence, as Jackie S said....be careful....if pulled over by the police no good to say "like so sorrie officer I no understand" ..won't cut the mustard with the boys in black (Vic police now have the black uniforms and dark sun glasses).....hope that helps.....cheers harpo....

REPLY TO ALL MEMBERS WHO HELPED ME ON THE ABOVE SUBJECT.....
I just found this info on the web re; nsw regulations...
Note: Australian citizens who reside overseas and are not permanent residents of Australia are allowed to drive in NSW on a current overseas licence as an international visitor. There is no need to apply for the issue or renewal of a NSW licence....Cheers and thanks to all...Mudguard.

There is a fly in the ointment! When we were living in the UK, my Thai wife had a valid 5 year Thai drivers licence for a car and a Thai international driving permit. My insurance company would not insure her on my 7 year old 1.7 ltr diesel Vauxhall/Opel Astra because they did not accept the driving test she took as being sufficient proof of competence to drive. Based on my 5 years' experience of driving in Thailand, the insurance company might have a valid point.pompui wrote:http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Lic ... cences.htm
