Visiting Drivers
Visiting drivers are not required to obtain an ACT Driver Licence providing their overseas licence and International Driving Permit are current. A visiting driver is a person from overseas who arrives in the ACT with no intention of becoming a permanent resident. This includes:
* tourists;
* business people;
* people on working holiday visas; and
* people studying or working temporarily in the ACT who intend to return to their home countries when they finish their courses or jobs.
When driving in the ACT a visiting driver must carry:
* Your foreign driver licence written in English; or
* Your international driving permit accompanied by your foreign driver licence; or
* Your foreign driver licence that is not in English, accompanied by an official English translation of the licence. An official translation means a translation by an Embassy or Consulate, The Department of Immigration and Citizenship or the National Accreditation Authority For Translators and Interpreters (NAATI).
Wenn ich das richtig interpretiere, hat deine Freundin wohl ein knoellchen bekommen, obwohl auf Study visa hier, weil sie ein Haus gekauft hat usw usw usw und dann wohl der punkt "...indend to return to their home countires when they finish their courses or jobs" nicht mehr so glaubhaft fuer die rego.act. war.
Just my two cents.
Ansonsten erlese ich daraus, das man mit dem 457 auch im ACT nicht unbedingt eine australische license braucht.
