@rooroo @sharean07 Actually, parang wala ngang information with regards to the minimum period na hawak mo yung Singapore driver's license mo. Pero, when we had a briefing with our migration agent (He is Australian) we also asked the same very question. kasi yung misis ko, learner din dito sa SG, then sabi ng agent namin, even if u get ur SG license, u need also take the theory and practical exam sa Ausie since yung license mo ay minimum 1 yr dapat at the time of ur entry in Ausie. Means, if u obtained ur license in SG on 23-Jul-12 at magpapa convert ka ng 23-Jul-13, then ok yun. pero kung ang license mo sa SG is obtained only on 6-Dec-12 at mag entry ka ng Oct, 2013 (wala pang 1 year), then need mo pa ring mag take ng exam at practical test sa ausie.
Pero sa case nyo, which is only conversion of PH License to SG License, go for the theory exam. wala namang mawawala. Get ur SG license, at pagdating nyo sa ausie, kung ma convert then well and good at kung hindi naman, then no choice but to take the test. And besides, u still have 3 months to drive there while ur preparing ur exam (if required).
in my case, magpapaconvert pa lang naman din ako (SG to ausie license) be end of this month. Pero yun nga lang, yung SG license ko is 4 yr na kya ok lang.
