Hi, I am re-sitting my IELTS again Saturday 21st August. I'm dreading it now as I know what to expect after failing it by 0.5 points the end of last year.

Hi! After reading several pieces of information and other peoples comments, it appears that you have to switch your British Driving Licence to Australian within 3 months of obtaining your visa. Can anyone shed some light on this information please? What happens if you can't get over there in the 3 months, or your house hasn't sold, or the timings not right to leave within the 3 months stated? What happens then? Would you have to complete a full driving test again then if its over 3 months??? I'm… Continue
