How to convert your Malaysia driving license to Singapore driving Licence (2016)

For Malaysian who wants to convert driving license to Singapore driving Licence .

Yeah. As a Malaysian who works or lives in Singapore. You have a privilege to convert your Malaysia driving license to Singapore's without taking the expensive driving course and provision driving period.

The goal of this article is to help you obtain the Singapore driving license in minimum travel to variety of location. The fxxking facility is not located at heart of the city but far from woodland. I do not need to tell you how I'm pissed off with the complicated process that fxxking Place has set up and they are not revealing all information in their website so you'll ends up travel more than you should.

Without further a do, lets do it.

Pre-knowledge

• You'll need to hold your Malaysia driving license more than 1 year before you first enter Singapore to work or live
• You are Malaysian citizen and not Singapore PR
• Your Malaysia driving license should have more than 6 months validity
• If your first Singapore Entry date is in your old passport, bring it along

The location

The nearest bus stop is called "Woodlands Auto Hub". You can take bus no 856 from either woodland or Marsiling and walk for 2 minutes. Google map will suggest you to take 170 which is a faster route if you don't mind to walk under the sun or rain without any shade for 15 minutes.



The process

You can complete the whole process with minimum of 3 travels. The fxxking place will not reveal clear information to you so you'll ends up travel more than you should.


Step 1 - Book for the BTT (Basic Theory Test)
You'll need go to this location and book the Basic Theory Test in person. You can not take the BTT on the day so you'll need a do a reservation. They only accept NETS payment so please don't forget to bring your bank card. The booking fee is SGD 12.5

For your smooth process in step three. Choose the BTT test time before 3pm. Book the morning session if possible, if you book late afternoon, you're high probably ends up additional travel.


Step 2 - Obtain the extract driving license record

While waiting you Basic Theory Test, you should go to Malaysia JPJ to get this document called EDLR or extract driving license record in full name. I would strongly suggest Johor JPJ because they know the process better. Johor JPJ is here, standard Taxi fare from custom to JPJ is RM 24.9 as of 2016.


Note: EDLRr only valid for 6 months. plan your visit

At Johor JPJ, go up stair, Turn Right to license counter, get the form and fill it up. Wait for your turn and tell them you need EDLR for license conversion. You'll need these documents

1) Photocopy and original Malaysia IC
2) Photocopy and original Malaysia driving license
3) Photocopy and original Singapore work permit

The fee for EDLR is RM 10. Before leaving JPJ, check your EDLR and ensure there are official chop and sign and chop of B2 and D class obtained date seperally. If you are doing EDLR at other JPJ and they don't have the chop, hand writing is acceptable too.

Step 3 - Take and pass the BTT and apply for conversion

Here is the last travel. Take the BTT On your booking date and pass it. Passing score is 90% of 50 questions.

Once you passed your test. Go to level one counter and take a queue. You'll need to present these documents for processing.

1) Driving license from JPJ with official stamp (B2, D date seperate)
2) Passport n photocopy with the date you enter Singapore
3) Malaysia IC and photocopy
4) Malaysia driving license with photocopy
5) employment pass with photocopy
6) Your photo (Passport size, white background)

Once you submitted the document, watch the video at level 4. (the latest video is 4:30pm, you'll need to come again if you missed it). See? they hide the schedule at their desk.

Go back to level one and pay SGD 50 for 5 years license. Again, they only accept NETS.

The license will be mailed to you in few days.

NOTE: BTT has no expire date just for your information. I applied for conversion after 6 months I passed my BTT.

Finally

Congratulation you've completed the process with minimal travel. Fxxk the damn facility that try to hide all information to you and waste all your precious time.

Hope you like this and please share it with you Friend.
