Malaysian Driving Licence conversion from UK Licence
I am a few years into my MM2H visa and getting ready to turn occasional visits to Penang into one permanent stay.
With age 60 on the horizon and associated loss (or difficulty in renewing) my UK licence, can anyone advise the easiest way to get a Malaysian licence please? Thanks |

Have you found this thread already: http://britishexpats.com/forum/retir...laysia-870306/
This describes how to get a Malaysian driver's license if you have a UK driver's license. For people from certain other countries is the procedure simpler. |

I don't have to re new my paper UK license until I'm 70.
Is your renewal something to do with the new photo licenses? |

Thanks I would be inclined to just go to Alter Domus and get them to do it for you, for a fee, of course. But then I am getting increasingly lazy. |

Elsewhere on this forum was it discussed how long you are allowed to drive on your UK driver's license in Malaysia. Formally speaking there seems to be a time limit, however I forgot how many months this is. How the authorities check and enforce this is unclear to me. Please be forewarned.

I did look but the only hard information I found was on the JPJ website which basically said as long as the licence is valid in the country of issue.
Applying for the licence yourself can be a pain but I wonder how certain agencies can be so successful and wonder if any of the fee is used to grease the wheels. Personally I feel the best way I can help stamp out corruption is to not support it. Make your own application and just be patient and persistent. |
