its and IT company based in India

yup, its a Mobility Lab actually,

anyone can help me, what if i were to buy a bike, and use it in singapore, should i retake the license in singapore or could i simply convert MY license to sg?

updated list



for me stated 1 year... i believe 1 year from the rejection letter date

You have to prove you got your MY license before you enter SG for long term(study or work). Letter from JPJ will show your pass date, that's what they look for. So good luck if your EP or student pass start date is before your license pass date.

I have 2 wallet when driving across country, as PR have to show NIRC and Sg license while MY side is usually easier if you have a MYKad and your wallet don't have too much cash.

the good thing is LTA will not follow the JPJ instruction in the letter, so they will not cut your license.

as for No 2, there is really nothing much you could do about it besides taking the lesson and test in Sg. Just a rough estimation, it would cost you around SGD2K minimum if you were an experience driver (drive regularly in Msia before) and need only 1 tried to pass the test. If you are newbie then it'll cost a bomb if you keep failing. I've colleague that failed 5X and gave up eventually

same case with me, and I quote: "We regret to inform you that your application has not been successful as you have not met the residential requirement".

what is the residential requirement?

Well, it's a good enough salary for me to consider getting such a highly priced room but I won't skimp on comfort because after all I'm going to be in Singapore for some time.

But cheaper is always king.

haha. not really if you look at the whole picture ..for example like increase in allowance, 40% of housing interest subsidies by company, club membership discounts .... etc etc ...

I heard LTA also convert your license even if the letter is for converting license for US so just tell JPJ is for US or some other countries.

Topic coming to 2.5k post. Could someone be kind and detail enough to include all critical information of this version to a new one soon.

lets say after we get the letter from JPJ, how much we need to pay to sit for the theory test and also to get the SG license.

Who knows. Its the governments OSA to keep foreigners from knowing the exact criteria they need to meet since if they did know it, alot of people would just follow the guidelines and get PR's easily.

about S$6++ for the test and S$50 for the license..

that's why I said they only look for your MY license start date, the rest not so improtant.

Meaning that staying in JB vs SG might play a big part of the decision making process eh?

The number of days you stay in SG is less than their limit but I can't remember the exact number. Once I does not meet the requirement for a few year, ICA renewed my permit for another 3 years instead of 5 or 10 years.

Pls shed sum light on my case here.Thnx!
Any feedbck wil be much appreciated!

ur S$6++ refer to S$600+ or S$6.00+?

its SGD6.00 for the basic undang-undang computer based test and SGD50 for the driving license....which doesnt have an expiry date, if you're a PR/Citizen
