Singapore Kopitiam

Anyone going to Newcastle?

Sharing some tips for the Visa applications, the process was pretty smooth except for the fingers scanning portion. My fingerprints nearly cant make it to the system lol.

Getting to the Visa Application Centre
Alight at Tanjong Pagar MRT and exit by Robinsons Road exit. The earliest you can go into the visa centre is not more than 10 mins before your scheduled appointment.

Impt Documents (to be submitted)
1) Passport
2) 1 Passport Size Photograph
3) CAS Letter
3) Completed forms – VAF Appendix 8, Online Application Forms
4) Appointment Letter

**We will get back our passport at a later date.

Backup Documents
1) Supporting evidences with original copies + photocopy, just bring along just in case they ask for it. Fyi, The counter officer never request to see my supporting documents.

Adding on, some of the questions found in VAF9 Appendix 8, you can simply put a cross as per following, Singaporeans are considered “low risk” applicants. Eg. Qns 5.4
5.4 Unless you are exempt under differentiation arrangements, you must send all of the original certificate(s) of qualification
and/or original transcripts of results and/or references that are listed in the CAS. You must get this information from your Tier 4
sponsor.

Put a cross (X) in the box to confirm evidence not required
under guidance, but held by applicant.

Hope the above is clear =)

Sorry, I've come across this term a few times already..... what's "sixth form" ?

Sixth form is year 11-12 in college. Like junior college in Singapore. We take the a levels too

re a visitor in GB, and hold full ordinary entitlement, you can drive any category of vehicle, up to 3.5 tonnes and with up to eight passenger seats, shown on your licence for up to 12 months from the date you last entered GB, whether or not you brought the vehicle into GB.

(as a student) you will not be able to exchange your driving licence as you are not a resident in Great Britain (GB) with a permanent British address.

Driving in GB as a student

If you are a student holding a community licence you may drive cars and motorcycles in GB for as long as your licence remains valid. If you don’t have a licence you must have been studying here for at least six months before taking a driving test or applying for a full licence.

If you are a student holding a non-community licence or an international driving permit you may drive here for up to 12 months.

For up to five years after becoming resident, you can apply to exchange your driving licence from a designated country for a British one.

If you don’t hold a licence, or your licence was not issued in a designated country, you’ll need to apply for a provisional licence and pass a driving test. You will be able to take a test and obtain a full licence once you have been in GB for six months.

Does anyone know how Singaporean driving license works in the UK? According to their website, it says:

But under the interactive tool, it says:


Finally, under the students page, it says:


Can anyone tell me whether I can drive in the UK with my singaporean driving license? And my course is for 5 years..... does that mean I need to exchange my license for a British one, or can I constantly use my Singaporean one as I will never "stay" in the UK for over 12 months at a time?
