  @twenty_wan depends on what country of origin your last driving license was acquired. Please check this out. As not all countries (like the Philippines) has a direct conversion of driving license if you're not in the listed country. In the case of Singapore for example, they could convert their driver license directly and need not undergo further theory and practical test.
