It will make it much easier for your friend to be able to buy a vehicle and get auto insurance for it if he obtains a state of Minnesota driver's license. Depending on what country that issued his international license, he may be required to take a written test as well as a driving test. He can call a MN Department of Public Safety (DPS) to find out if the tests can be waived or if they must be taken.

Your friend can also find out more information about the identification and other requirements he must have to apply for a MN license when he contacts the DPS office. Since he will be coming and going from the US due to his work visa he might want to ask if there is a way to turn in his MN license for his foreign license when he leaves for his home country and then get his MN license reinstated when he returns.
