New Rules for Overseas Drivers in NSW Effective immediately (from 1 Feb 2026)

Big changes have just come into effect for international drivers in Sydney and NSW.

🛑 “List B” Exemptions Ended: Drivers from List B countries (including South Africa, Poland, South Korea, Taiwan, and others) can no longer automatically swap their licence. 👉 You must now pass the Knowledge Test (DKT) and the Practical Driving Test to get an NSW licence.

⏳ 6-Month Rule for Temporary Visas: If you have lived in NSW for 6 months or more on a temporary visa, you MUST convert to an NSW licence. Driving on your overseas licence after this period is now considered unlicensed driving and carries heavy penalties.

Huge congratulations to Irina for smashing her driving test on the very first attempt at Botany RMS this beautiful morning! Irina delivered an amazing performance with an incredible 98.1% score. Dear Irina, it has been an absolute pleasure preparing you for this moment and watching you succeed. Enjoy the freedom and stay safe on the roads!
