Tanong ko lang kung meron dito naka kuha nang PH DL conversion to SG DL na di na hinanapan nuong LTO Cert of 1st issuance? Nasubukan ko kasi dun sa CDC Ubi, at ni require pa din ako to submit LTO Cert kahit na sinabi ko na, naka indicate dun sa license number ko yung year of issuance.
Just in case, meron ba dito naka try sa ibang centre? Pls share. Thanks.

We are leaving singapore mid-june pero last day namin both ni husband sa work is by the end of this month. Yung yaya ko is currently naghahanap na ng new employer via an agency that was referred to her. Concern ko lang is kung by May 30 i-cancel na rin ang EP's namin, of course cancelled na rin ang pass ni yaya pero what will happen to her? On the off chance na wala pa rin syang new employer by then... will she be allowed to stay in Singapore for 30 days while looking for a new employer?
What if meron na syang malipatan pero we want her to stay with us until our last day in Singapore, possible ba yun? Eto na lang kasi pinoproblema ko, gusto ko sana siguradong maayos namin iiwan si yaya sa singapore at hopefully sa mabuting amo sya mapunta.
