Make that DRIVING CENTER... like Bukit Batok Drivng Center. You can do it online.DimWit Kid wrote:Basic test. You have to register for that at any traffic police station..
What do you mean "international license"? If from another approved country, then no problem. If one of those pieces of paper you pick up somewhere it won't work.
Must do the conversion within 12 months of your date of arrival.
I think Strong Eagle means that you can register for the Basic Theory test on-line, I don't think you can take it on line, that has to be done in person.Strong Eagle wrote:Make that DRIVING CENTER... like Bukit Batok Drivng Center.

You do have to take the basic theory test within 12 months of arriving here.
They will need to see your UK drivers licence, but will return it to you and you get to keep it (I still have mine)
