Off topic, anyone knows if SG licence can be used in PH for bikes/cars ?
Or we need to apply some paperwork 1st.
IIRC, SG is international licence.
Not that bad, if you use your brain .. or you are damn lucky like some guys I know who blindly get into taxi and still get back in one piece (I was one of them long long ago .. )

Just avoid making friends with strangers and such, or cops (some guys again are damn lucky can friend anybody .. ) you are good.

Philippines, No need license conversion for short stay, as long as License in English (as is SG License), no need international for use in Philippines

90 days from arrival, can use same license. Just keep a copy of the passport arrival page in case you encounter smart cop, especially in Manila. Other areas, nobody bothers license, because no thieving cops like in Manila making fake violations (like swerving, not stopping 10 seconds, and all bull you don't even know there's rule book,... )

or if in Subic Freezone or Clark, be careful, they follow US rules, like mandatory stop at crossing, first to stop first to go .. and all.

Other places - no sweat.

Nope, Singapore license is NOT international. You need AA international permit if you need it .. like going to countries that don't recognise Original SG license .
