Hi,

Just got my international driving license, got one question.

I'm Singapore PR, can i drive my own malaysia car / malaysia rented car, into Singapore using my international permit ?

I only got malaysia license and international driving license. No singapore license.

Technically cannot. But there's certain condition to be met if you want to drive your Msian car. Can check this article here.

http://geraldgiam.sg/2013/08/malaysian-reg...ring-singapore/

It's only on case-to-case basis and you still need to pay the OMV of your Msian car in S'pore car equivalent value. On top of that you will need to pay the daily $35 VEP fee. Not worth to venture down this road. Just buy a resale SG car

first of all, there's no international driving licence, only international driving permit. There's no other purpose for it other that to serve as a English translation for non-English driving licence.

I drove MY car plate into Singapore last Friday to complete my PR formalities (gave them my EP and they wrote my new Singapore IC number in my passport).
When I drive back to Malaysia via Second-Link, the officer don't bother to look at my car or so on.
So my question is, the responsible (to check) lies on the traffic police officer or ICA officer ? : ))

Hi guys, I have question on the PR, for successful applicants, what I understand is that medical report can be exempted as long the report is within 2 years from the appointment date. But during my EP renewal, i only did the HIV test. So does it mean I have to do the Chestray again? Thanks.. notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Yo, you need to redo the TB test (Chest X-ray) again.
For your reference, it's about SGD30+ (inclusive of GST) - I did it @ West Point Hospital. Got it in an hour. smile.gif

when u came in, u are under EP...so they allowed u
when u drive out, why would they block u if u entered legally.
if they do not allow you to drive the car out, how are u suppose to get it out then? find someone from MY to drive out?
but most likely, you will not be able to drive it back in again.
i do not know who checks, but i am guessing ICA when they scan your passport.

ICA wrote NRIC# in your passport???

There is a box outside ica. If you drop it there they will assign the available slot they have to you and not your prefer slot. Since filly book that maybe your only choice.

Talking about driving license, I got question if sifu here can help to answer.

I understand for a PR to drive in SG we need to have SG driving license.

To obtain driving license we need to pass Basic Theory Test and convert our MYS Driving License (Extract needed from JPJ)

I am wondering if we can do the conversion if it is 3 months after obtaining my PR?

eCitizen- Driving in SG - Looking into this link we are required to convert within 3 months
QUOTE
New Singapore citizens and PRs must convert their foreign driving licences within 3 months of obtaining citizenship or PR status. - See more at: http://www.ecitizen.gov.sg/Topics/Pages/Dr...h.XRnCM4rv.dpuf


Conversion of Foreign Driving License- Looking into the link from SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE, there are no such requirement

Anyone can help rclxub.gif

lol what are you talking about man. government has every right to set whatever rules/laws they want. if you don't want to follow then just BMW (bus mrt walk) everywhere lo.

p.s. it is not just a PR thing. By right even Work Pass holders only allowed to use Malaysian license for the first year, after that oso supposed to convert to SG license.
