Yes, as Christmas advised .... it is 3 months. Himself thought he could just waltz across the border and use his healthcare. Had a rude awakening.

Re: International Driving License
Just weighing in here regarding validity of driving license...
I lived in France and my UK license was perfectly valid for use there. They can make you exchange it for a french one if you commit a driving offense in France. You can't change the address on the UK license to a french address but it is still perfectly valid.
In any case, now when I go back to the UK, I use my Texas license. It hasn't happened but if I should get stopped for speeding, I'll be pulling that one out

Re: International Driving License
so in a nutshell, it seems my only option for the intl license is to go back to the U.K. and head to a post office and do the normal process linked to my U.K. address? Well, that is short of getting a US license which maybe I’ll do between now and April, when I go to Japan.
