QUOTE(Lanchio @ Sep 12 2023, 11:42 PM) Plot twist. Our driver license is recognized throughout whole of ASEAN. There is an agreement to this, as long as there is English translation (which we already have), then it is recognized & valid. I've used it to rent cars in Thailand. another plot twist: while our physical driving lesen is accepted in ASEAN, our digital version is not (except for Singapore only). So to get the physical lesen, jpj require to apply for IDP which cost RM150 per year, then only they will give you the physical lesen.

QUOTE(mobileoop @ May 25 2025, 05:56 PM) Last month, I just renewed 10 years license + went to the JPJ to get the Physical license (+ 1 year). I printed the Agoda hotel booking. They didn't accept it and said that I can cancel the booking anytime. Luckily I brought my passport along with me. I showed them that I travelled to oversea at least 1 time per year to countries like Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore. Then, they only allowed me to get the Physical license. So, you either need to show the flight ticket or proof from the records of your passport that you travel frequently to overseas I don't have IDP yet. But, I think I need that if I want to drive in Vietnam They have no reasons to doubt you. A physical lesen card is a right for all Malaysians who have passed the driving test and paid the annual fee for the lesen. What kind of nonsense is to even doubt you even when you already have hotel booking. What if just travelling to Singapore or Thailand for a day trip? or staying in family or friends house while in overseas? to me this is nonsense.
