Opo first time kukuha. Nabasa ko kasi na mas matagal proseso sa AU kesa dito sa SG kaya nagbabalak magtake ng driving lesson na dito habang hinihintay yung grant.

Eto ang nakasulat sa website ng sg police. Starting point mo is sa driving centres dito. Pili ka ng isa sa 3 options na meron. Then maybe go on from there.

Ndi naman matagal process sa AU, need mo lang makapasa sa actual test. on the day na maka pasa ka pwede ka na mag drive. Ang mag papatagal lang is yung pag aaral talaga kung from 0 ka.
To add on na din yung presyo, alam ko kasi mahal sa SG. dito mura lang.

Hello mga ka-SG! May random question lang ako. Gusto ko lang malaman opinion nyo.
Ano plan nyo gawin sa bank account nyo dito sa SG once magdecide na kayo mag BM?
Iinform nyo pa ba yung bank nyo na lilipat na kayo ng bansa? Anong best gawin sa bank account dito pag umalis na ng SG?

Wala kayong dapat gawin. Just keep it open with sufficient balance. Wont hurt to go to a branch and inform them. But really, wala naman action on either side at this point.
Once you have settled in Aus, yun lang yung action point - to update your residential/mailing address.
Share ko lang, I'm just in awe of DBS's efficiency and level of customer service. My debit card is about to expire in June and had not requested for a new one, but see, I was surprised to find a new card in my mail last week - all the way from Singapore. That's service commitment!

Balak ko din po sana iwan lang din. Since iiwan ko lang din naman muna yung funds dito kasi wala pa mapag lilipatan na bank account sa AU. Then unti-unti magtransfer. No idea lang talaga kung may consequences yung ganung plan.
Thank you po sa insight @fmp_921!

I also have an AIA policy. Kept it active. Naka GIRO yung annual premium ko dun sa SG bank acct ko. No issues.
Well, ang di ko lang magawa e pabago yung mailing address. Residential address was updated to AU address, but the mailing address cannot be outside of SG. My agent confirmed this as well. So, naiwan pa rin sa last known SG address namin sya. Wala naman snail mails na pinapadala ang alam ko. We asked our agent too, ok lang daw yun. Naka email mode na yung letters and correspondence namin dun sa policy. Just dont forget to do this.
Also, ensure that your login option is changed to Username/Password, para di ka malock out once your FIN/SingPass is deactivated.

They will ask you of the US FATCA thingy since may nagbago sa tax jurisdiction. Just declare No. You will receive this through email. Then just follow the link to the declaration form.

Just to add, when I say "online", it's on the mobile app. Hindi na kasi accessible yung web (browser) app ng DBS outside of SG. Di ko lang sure if that's the same for other SG banks, in case you are not under DBS.

Thank you po dito sa insight @Ozdrims. I-check ko din ito. Initially ang idea ko lang regarding sa pagtransfer ng funds ay thru Wise. So far wala naman ako naeencounter na problem and real-time din yung transfer. Not sure lang alin ang mas better if i-consider ang exchange rate.
BTW, congrats po sa visa grant @Ozdrims! Thank you sa mga contributions mo lagi dito.

Follow-up ko po ito. Gusto ko din makakuha ng advice if ano po ba mas ok na approach. Un mga nag BM na po sa AUS, nagpa box ba kayo via courrier or di na? Nakita ko kasi pwede karin mag check-in ng box sa airlines mismo. Then add nalang baggage allowance. I think mas cheaper siguro convenient lang un courrier kasi door to door service hehe!
Isa din namin challenge ito kasi dami namin gamit since family of 3.

I have converted mine. Nilagay ko details and step by step guide, dito din sa thread na to, back read ka lang. Pag nahanap ko, i will share the link.
Meron additional letter from PH LTO na need eh. Certificate of Issuance yata. It states when mo first nakuha yung license mo. Dapat mas nauna mo nakuha yung license mo, kesa first arrival mo sa singapore. Otherwise, di nila icconvert. Vinavalidate to sa SG LTA counter.
Edit: found it

Hi, just want to share my experience. Since sg based ako, gumawa ako ng authorisation letter for my father sa ph para sya mag asikaso. Then gumawa ako Letter of request stating na hihingi ako Certification ng driver’s license ko showing yung initial issuance date. Pwede mo sabihin reason na to use for converting license to Singapore. Tapos either sa Main office or sa Regional office ng LTO pupunta to request the Cert. nakalimutan ko na pero around P100 lang ang bayad.
