Converting Singapore/Philippine Driver's License

loucas_11 · April 2017

Hi Po! Ask mo lang, may bearing po ba kung kakakuha ko lang ng Drivers license ko sa PH tapos papaconvert ko na agad to Sg DL? or need ko pang mag antay ng specific months or year bago mag convert.. salamat po sasagot.

@loucas_11 Dapat na-issue yung license mo before na-issue yung first Singapore pass (EP/Spass) mo. Otherwise, hindi mo ata pwede ma-convert. Ito yung alam kong rule last 2015. Di ko sure kung meron changes since then.

@loucas_11 tama si @naitx kailangan una kang nagkaroon ng PH DL bago ka nagkapass sa SG.

loucas_11 · April 2017

Thanks @engineer20 and @naitx sa response. kailangan pla dito na ako kumuha DL tas papa convert nalang sa Au.. Medyo mahal kasi dito tas sabi eh mahirap pati..

engineer20 · April 2017

@loucas_11 mas mapapamahal ka yata kung sa AU ka pa mag-aaral magdrive para magkalisensya. BTW, wala ka kahit PH licence?

@engineer20 wala po eh,, wala din naman kasi kaming sasakyan sa pinas kya diko na naisip kumuha nun

,.. advice ng agent namin PH-Sg Conversion pero dapat mas naunang licence bagu mag ka pass. advice ng friend namin n nasa Au kuha nalang dito sa Sg tas convert nalang..

Hi kabayans! I heard n even though direct conversion and SG DL to AU DL, Probationary license parin daw ang grant sau pag less than 1 year and SG DL (kc daw pag probi ka sa SG, probi karin sa AU) please correct me if I am wrong.
For my case, sa Dec 2018 mag 1 year ang SG DL license ko. Initial entry nmin ay sa Oct 2018 max (Victoria). Any suggestions para makaiwas sa P2 probationary license? Thank you in advance!

Hi po may bearing po ba ang date of issuance ng SG DL pag nagconvert na ko to AU DL? magcoconvert pa lang ako ng SG DL so if March 2018 ang date of issuance ano po effect nun pag nagconvert na ako to AU DL this year po? thanks in advance.

Hi @bloodsurf09, same scenario tayo. May I know what happened? Did you get P2 license first? Thank you.

@bloodsurf09 pakita mo din ang ph dl mo or parang may cert from lto para maipakita na you had your license for several years na

Can anyone confirm na pag ang SG DL eh less than a year palang at wlng PH DL eh Probationary Licence parin ang ggrant ng Australia?

Hello, update ko lang po itong forum topic na to sa mga gusto magconvert ng PH DL to SG DL. Pwede po pala mag enrol online (account opening) and book online ng BTT. Not sure if bago lang yun pero pwede na sya sa website ng Ubi branch.

@Hendro Check the state you are applying for the DL. I think it really doesn't matter because even if you have P plates, you can still drive unlike L plates. Also, no need for you to do the written exam and practical (though depends on the state. Here in QLD, if you have held it for less than one year (recognized countries), you avoid the written but you need to do the practical). Mabilis naman ang 1 year to have the open licence.

Question po. Sa mga nagconvert ng PH to SG licence, yung reqt na certification from LTO, paano po ang ginawa nyong process para makakuha? Need ba talaga na sa Pinas ito kunin? Thanks po sa sasagot.

Yes bro, need mo sadyain main office ng LTO, need mo spend 1 day dyan, tas babalikan mo after 1-2 weeks yata. Yung sakin eh pinakisuyo ko lang sa hipag ko.
