Malaysian licence and 100k note works
Even with a valid licence you still need good knees. How is your knee now? Have you recovered and what did you do to fix it?
I just got my Indonesian SIM today and I read that it allows me to drive in any of the ASEAN countries without IDP. In theory I imagine the same can be said for you here but in practice who knows. Try find some malaysians living here to ask them!Malaysia already did that to me this year. Now I have 4 valid driver's license cards here with just different addresses and driving class.
In Bandung I'm not sure how likely I'd get pulled over as long as I cover up completely(due to my amount of ink)
lately they've been doing a lot of traffic operations and seizing bikes(mostly for aftermarket exhaust or because it's an electric bicycle) seeing as my bike is an unmodified 1972 GL100 I'm hoping I won't have any issue but I've seen some pretty aggressive officers there.
From what I was told in Bandung they only give you a Sim equal to the length of your Kitas & sktt if you get it while under Kitas.
I believe they changed that to all SUMs were 5 years.
Yes that was my experience as well
Just for the record, you can drive in most states in the US on a foreign liscense for 30 days.
If you are an American, where is your American driver's license? Expired? Did you ever have one?
Expired a long time ago. Last time I was there I went to renew it but when they said I could drive 30 days without one so I don't see the need to pay them $35 for something I won't use. Not really sure why that matters but...
Two comments. First, the list of documents is very straightforward, so it shouldn't be difficult to ascertain what was missing. Second, there is a WA number that you can use to communicate with the officer in charge to have your questions answered. The number is in my post #12 above.
How long will you visit the USA and what states? The laws vary from state to state, but most allow you to use a foreign license in the US for up to a 3 month US visit, or an IDP with foreign license for up to 1 year.
Mine was in Georgia. I stopped by the state patrol office and showed it to them. They just want to make sure it is a driver's license and not some generic ID card. They did specifially say 30 days per visit.
It appears the law in Georgia allows the indefinite use of a foreign license if you have not established residency in Georgia. If you become a Georgia resident, you have 30 days to get a Georgia license, which is what the officers you spoke with were probably thinking of.
