驾照不是中国国籍，同时拿几个国家的都行
一般来讲，应该最好有4个
1个中国的（凭真本事考出来的，不是马路杀手那种， 堪称在世界上最恶劣的交通状况下可以顺利开车的驾照）
1个英联邦的（新加坡的就挺好用，多数殖民地地方首次入境少过1年都可以直接用）
1个北美的 （其实很容易拿，不拿白不拿）
1个欧盟国家的 （这样所有欧盟国家和一些其他驾照互认国家都不用换驾照了，终生可用）

新加坡驾照在美国短期是可以直接用的。
每个国家对外国驾照基本都有这样的规定。短期内可以直接用，超过一定时期就需要转为当地驾照。
中国的国际驾照（花400元人民币就可以把普通驾照转为国际驾照，不过其实就是英文版驾照）在新加坡和其他国家也是可以直接用的，不过只有头一年而已，并且不适用于新加坡人和PR。

Singapore License is permanet provided it is not revoked becoz of acummulated pts exceeding yearly limit.

international driving permit only useful when ur resident period is less than one year, if more than that u must use a local lincense.

Getting a international driving permit in SG cost only 20 dollars and very fast.

Same permit in china is cost 1K RMB and of not much use.

--------------
actually, singapore lincense is well recognized in all Commonwealth countries and u dun need a international driving permit at all.

Singapore lincense cannot be used in china if you are china citizen, and i think better u learn driving in china, as road condition is quite different..

Not many local drivers dare to drive in china...: )


there is no international lincense

They have an international automobile asscociation.

each member country agree on allowing "international driving permit" holder to drive in foreign country if they stay less than 12 months.

From what i know, china allow foreigners to joining drving test (sometimes only test traffic rules) directly if they have an international driving permit.
once pass an temp china lincense is issued.
this is police policy

---------------
However, as far as i know, some car rental firm in china lease car to foreigner with only driving permit also.
in that case, no china lincense needed. but i dun know how police treat such cases.

----------------
if singaporean intend to drive in chian for a long period, she/he must learn driving in china. it is allowed, at least in Jinan/shandong.
