FIN starting with G??

jhkim · Post by **jhkim** » Thu, 20 Oct 2005 3:13 pm

My understanding is that every foreigner's Identification number starts with f and end with some other character. (FXXXXXXXZ) Am I correct?

Or does it depend on the pass?

I have a friend who have a Q1 Pass starting with G? whats the difference?

S,Q and P is only used for EP right?
Entrepass don't have those classification correct?

Thanks in advance for help.

Don't know what the differences are really, but my husband is the Ep holder in our house. Myself and our two kids are here on Dp's. All our FINs start with "G".

Neither Google or me know the answer... if there is one! By the way I also have the "G" letter!

I'm an Entrepass holder. My FIN starts with a 'G'.

Maybe they ran out of "F" number - "G" is next in the alphabet?

Hmm... I don't think so, since the figure is 7 digits, plus the letter, it means 9,999,999 times 26 possibilities. That is almost 26 million...

hahaha...this must another thing we will never understand like PR approval criteria~

Maybe people who apply on M,W,F gets F and T,TH,SA gets G....

By the way...strong eagle...I saw your ID and the pictures in the Singapore Bikes forum.....what kind of bike do you ride? You are not the guy who is selling Aprilia RS 125 because of your wife right?

I guess they are using F then G in alphabetical order...
EPs issued before 2000 starts with F, after & in 2000 starts with G ....

Nope... I ride a Honda Valkyrie... just a tad bigger than a 125.

I am on EP.

There must be some kind logic here but then......entrepass also Gets G, Dependat pass also gets G and even some EP holder get G......

Its random!

Nice bike!!!!.....bit of overkill for Singapore don't you think?

I knew you were old....but not that old!~~No offense

Did you tranfer your license from your home country. I don't think any expat can stand the agony of taking the test 3 times just to ride bike bigger than 400cc.

oh well...I was hoping you were the old man selling the bike so I can ask for discount

No, it's just perfect, especially if you like to talk to people. There are only 10 to 15 in town.

Allow me to clear up a serious misconception on your part. I am not old. I am a mere youth with a few years on him

Yes, I was able to obtain my class 2 license through a conversion. On the other hand, with 35 years of riding experience, many years of which were on large displacement bikes, it seems like a reasonable thing.

Again, I must remind you that I am not old, a mere youth in the scheme of things... with a hair cutter that keeps putting something in my hair that makes it turn gray.
