I'm sure if Jetstar wanted to register these machines in Singapore it could be accomplished without too much fuss.
I have heard that the 9V registration was turned down on the basis of inadequate crew rest. Apparently Singapore requires the provision of crew bunks, Jetstar A330s don't have them, simple as that.

9V rego requires P/N S/N for all repairable parts fitted to the aircraft. It also requires replaced parts to have a different serviceable label to that of VH registered aircraft. It has been massively underestimated how much work was involved in this process and if it is even possible.

It had nothing to do with crew licences etc. Just spent a layover with a few involved with the process from JQ, and it was the fact they were going to have to do it all again for another new type to the AOC (787) in just over 12 months, so it made zero sense in spending the money, or time involved to get the 330's onto the JQasia AOC in the meantime. It also means they have alot more flexibility with regards to crewing for another year or so as well.
I believe the costs involved were alot higher than originally expected, and they had a few issues to sort out re the Qf maintenance system in place.

I heard it was because mgmt finally gave in and said that these should be moved over to QF international to supplement the highly profitable international division.

Mstr Caution
I remember the story back when the aircraft were ordered, AJ apparently had a say on the specifications and did not want crew rest seats. Some of us at the "other" airline were surprised as a couple of our initial A330s had no crew rest and were not as flexible for operational use because of it.
