Q: How do we prove that you got your DL before moving to Sg? Every 2 years kase renewal natin diba. I checked my DL just now, parang walang nakalagay na since 2006 pa ako nagdadrive.

if you had ur license before you relocated to SG then you need to take BTT exam only..online exam lng cya 50 items, pag pasado pwede mu na ipaconvert.

@rara_avis i advise mag pan convert na kayo to SG license.

kadarting lng namin dito sa canberra and we did direct conversion from SG to AU in less than 15 mins. I dont think may issue kung kelan lng na issue yung sg license, yung sa amin oct 2013 lng.

kailngan mo lng ipakita yung sg license, passport and additional id (au atm/debit/credit card, medicare slip ok na din) then pay lng ng 110aud

hndi ko lng sure if applicable din or same reqmnt lng din sa ibang state 🙂 pro it will dfntly save u a lot of $, time & effort 🙂

If wala pa po driver's license sa PH both main applicant & wife, ano po best move today if currently we're both working in SG & planning to move to AU by this year?

a. kukuha muna driver's license sa PH?

b. dito na agad kukuha sa SG?

c. pwede doon na sa AU South Australia kukuha agad?

d. ?

n.?

@IslanderndCity may nabasa akong blog ng using pinay sa oz na galing rin ng sg-advisable raw to take your driving license here in SG. I will do that as well. Although I failed the tests way back 8yrs ago dito! Sana naman maipasa ko na this time. 🙂

@ganda, bakit daw po sa SG na? D ba mahal? May nag-advise din sa akin na kukuha muna sa Pinas tapos pa-convert nalang daw sa Au ang license.

hindi convertible ang Ph license to AU license.. you still need to take theory/practical driving exam sa AU.

if you have SG license (or any other first world country license), that will be automatically converted to AU driving license.. just show it and they will give you the AU license in 15mins.. no theory/practical driving exam required..

if you had ur license before you relocated to SG then you need to take BTT exam only..online exam lng cya 50 items, pag pasado pwede mu na ipaconvert.

</blockquote>

Clarification po: So if wala pa talaga PH license, the best way & most economical is dito na sa SG mag-enrol & kukuha ng license? Or advisable na doon muna kukuha sa Pinas then convertion nalang dito sa SG at no cost na?

Hi, I do not know about the cost of getting a new license in SG vs AU. Pero pag wala ka pa license from Pinas, di ka na maka convert when you get it now. This is because the rule is that you need to have a valid, non-expired license for 1 year or more before you were granted an EP/SPass/PR in Singapore.

But it is better to get a PH License-then get an International License from AAP right before going to AU. You can use it in AU for 1 year or before you apply for a learner's permit whichever comes earlier(this is because any International Licenses will lose it's validity after you apply for a learners/probational license). (This is Queensland law. I do not know about other states.)

You can use your OR from LTO if the date is more than a year before you were granted your EP/SPASS. If not, you will need to request for a certification of first issuance of license from LTO.

Your driver's license number will contain the year in which you were first issued a license...

Look at it first and let me know if I am making sense.

@IslanderndCity getting an SG license is not that easy and cheap. So kung totally wala ka pang license might as well get it in OZ directly.

my two cents.

I agree. And if you do not have driving experience in the PH or SG. Better to learn from scratch in AU.

So as a summary:

Wala na akong advantage na ma-gain if kukuha pa ako ng Ph DL? Better directly get Au DL nalang po soon?

Meron pa rin if you want to drive immidiately in AU upon arrival. Make sure to get an International Driver's License from AAP. However, if you apply for learner's permit, di mo na pwede gamitin any country's DL inside AU. (Queensland Rule).

Yes there's a big chance po to drive immediately in Au upon arrival. So further summary po:

A. Get Ph DL in order to get Internat'l DL from AAP in SG

B. Get Au DL directly from Au nalang if hindi naman magdrive immediately in Au after arrival

C. I can do both A & B

Tama po? Thanks so much so replies nyo po. Very helpful...

Hi,

AAP po is only issued from the Philippines. Pero pwede ka apply online tapos may proxy ka sa Pinas. You can use this in AU for 1 year (with full driving rights). You can use this AAP-DL to get a probational license in AU. But once you apply for the probational license, hindi mo magamit yung International AAP DL mo. Meaning, wala ka na full driver's rights-limited ka na sa rights ng probational license.

Ang catch is, may states yata na you will need to "convert" within 3 months of arrival (this I am sure which states).

You cannot do both. Kasi nga, yung AAP-DL mo will not be honored once you applied for a learner's or probational License.
