Bicolor 5th Gear January 7, 2009 Share January 7, 2009 US dun need. China u need to convert, international no pakai, unless u diplomat! Hong Kong u can but less than 1 year stay, need international if more than year. For Hong Kong international permits are also not valid for stay of more than one year, but with a driving licence from a long list of countries, including Singapore, you can apply for a full HK driving licence by direct issue without any test.
