So, you've got a Korean driver's license and you're eyeing the open roads of Australia? Good news: Australia generally allows holders of overseas licenses, including Korean ones, to drive on a temporary basis. For stays under three months, your Korean license is usually valid, but it must be in English or accompanied by an official translation or an International Driving Permit.
If you plan to settle down and drive longer, you'll need to convert your Korean license to an Australian one, which often means passing a knowledge test and possibly a practical driving test, depending on the state or territory. Fees vary, but expect to shell out around $50 to $150 AUD for tests and issuance.
Check with your local road authority (like VicRoads, RMS, or TMR) for precise requirements, because Australia's a federation, and rules differ. Don't just wing it—getting caught driving unlicensed in Australia is a surefire way to ruin your day (and your wallet).
