[EZLINK] Re: Useful Info Regarding Driving License in Singapore.
I was told that the foreign license shd have been obtained before
your first job commenced in Singapore.
Eg: If u started working in Sg in 2000 but obtained ur license in
2002, then u will not be allowed to convert ur license.
You will need to go thru the full driving tests and courses as
Singaporeans.
If your license was obtained way before your first stay in
Singapore, then you can convert it. You will be given a Spore
driving license which is by default an international license. You
would not have to renew ur old license anymore after this.
Converting steps are as below mails...
