Re: [EZLINK] Useful Info Regarding Driving License in Singapore.
Hi
For Singapore PR, they should have their Indian driving license issue date as before coming to singapore. If it is after date then it will be a concern and may not be able to convert, One thing am very sure that if you have your indian driving license issued after your PR issued date, It is not possible to convert. it will be as usual you need to go for entire driving licen process like local people.

When you arrive in Singapore and intend to drive yourself, be it a
rented car or your own car, you will be allowed to drive in
Singapore with an international driving licence for a period of 6
months. You can obtain an international driving licence at the
Automobile Association in your own country or in Singapore, but
remember that this is only valid with your exisiting licence. Within
12 months of moving to Singapore, you will need to convert your
licence to a local, Singapore driving licence. Converting your
licence is a fairly easy task, but plan well in advance, for this
may take some time.
The Basic Theory Test
To convert your licence, you will need to take - and pass - a Basic
Theory Test (BTT), to prove that you are familiar with the Singapore
traffic rules and regulations. You can book your BTT with one of the
three driving centers in Singapore:
Comfort Driving Center
205 Ubi Avenue 4
Singapore 408805
Tel: 6841 8900
Fax: 6841 8913
Website: www.comfortdrivingcentre.com.sg
Singapore Safety Driving Center
3 Ang Mo Kio Street 62
Industrial Park 3
Singapore 569139
Tel: 6482 6060
Fax: 6482 8808
Website: www.ssdcl.com.sg
Bukit Batok Driving Center
815 Bukit Batok West Ave 5
Singapore 659085
Tel: 6561 1233
Fax: 6561 1266
Website: www.bbdc.com.sg
The BTT will cost S$6 and is fairly easy as long as you pick up a
BTT learning book in any bookshop and do some studying.
Please bring along your passport and employment pass/dependants pass
when you go in for the test (details on the SSDC website.
Once you have passed the test you can convert your licence. Please
note that, unlike some other countries, you do not get the results
of your test straight away. You will have to wait for the results to
come in by mail, which may take up to two weeks. Also note that you
may have to wait a few weeks before you can take the BBT so please
plan your conversion well before the six-month grace period expires.
Converting your licence
If you have passed the BTT, you can convert your licence at the
Singapore Traffic Police Headquarters:
Singapore Traffic Police
10 Ubi Avenue 3
Singapore 408865
Tel: 6547 0000
Fax: 6547 4900
Website: s-one.internet.gov.sg/tp/ebtt/
To do this, you will have to go down in person and hand in your
application, together with your BBT test results, your passport,
your employment pass/dependants pass, a recent passport-size
picture, your valid foreign driving licence and a translation of
your foreign licence if it is not in English. Your new, Singaporean
driving licence will be sent to you by registered mail within 2
weeks of submitting the application.
Needless to say, you will need to carry your Singaporean driving
licence with you at all times when you are driving, but you do not
need to carry your foreign licence and/or international licence
anymore.
