Colombia → WA
Colombia is generally not on the Australian recognised list, so you'll usually need the Western Australia theory test and a practical driving test.
What you'll likely need in WA
You'll most likely need to pass the Western Australia theory test (Computerised Theory Test (CTT)) and a practical driving test. KangaLearner gets you ready for the theory. Free, in your language.
Becoming a resident? You'll need to convert
- Australian citizens and permanent residents may drive on the overseas licence for up to 3 months and must apply to transfer within that period — after 3 months the overseas licence is no longer valid to drive in WA.
- Whether you need to sit tests depends on whether your country is on the recognised list.
- Prove your identity, pass an eyesight test, and pay the fees.
- Check the official Department of Transport (WA) steps before you book anything.
Rules change and depend on your visa. This is a plain-English guide, not legal advice. Always confirm with Department of Transport (WA).
