Excellent video...very thorough detail on how to get your Driver's License in the Philippines. I'm glad it wasn't that much of a hassle. Take care guys.

Use this as a guide to getting my Philippine license. Still fairly simple in 2024. I didn't even have to get a paper license. They printed up the card right there. Helpful video for sure

Appreciate this info, I'm about to go get my license this week in bohol. Hope I don't get swamped with fixers as you said. I'm happy we don't need to take any driving tests due to the existing valid USA license. Thanks again.

I'm a canadian visiting with my girlfriend and I was looking into this. Your video is very helpful and makes it easier

[justsayno]

Thank you. The main office is not as busy or daunting as I thought it would be.

So cool! No written test or drving test! Be there in a few years . Thanks for the good information

Rewatched this video. Man, you made this process look clear and undaunting. Appreciate it.

I haven't seen any other videos yet, but if you haven't covered visas (visa free arrival, tourist visa, retirement visa--I am 50), visa extensions, condo and house rentals (AirBnB, or whatever), dating (where to meet good girls in person and online), health insurance... Those are some things I'd be interested in. Don't know where you live, but videos there would be cool. I want to be a regular in BGC and Makati, plus any beaches like Batangas, Boracay, Siguro... so any water videos would be great. Lol. Just thinking out loud... 😂

Can't blame U for hesitating! I hate government offices specially there! But that trip was surprisingly fast! Unbelievable!!

Be sure to check with your local LTO Office first. Here in Marinduque I was told that I have to go to the main LTO Office in Manila to process.

TO CONVERT YOUR FOREIGHN LICENCE TO PHILIPINE LICENSE YOU NEED TO SHOW YOU HERE FOR 30 DAYS OR MORE UPON ARRIVAL ... OTHERWISE THEY WILL ASK YOU TO WAIT 30 DAYS

Just been and worth saying if you come from right hand drive country (UK) then you’ll need to take a practical test as well

This process ONLY describes foreign license conversion (assuming it is not expired), otherwise it is a much different process involving testing.

Thank you for your enlightening videos about visas and changing driver's licenses. Have asked a few but get different answers, the easiest is to see movies and try to hang out but, is not so good in English, but if I manage to get through english in most countries my second language (is Swedish) so therefore movies are good. You can look at them to understand everything. Thanks Leif

Wao that's a big turtle 🐢 Thanks for posting this video on here it benefits alot of foreigners that are planning to get their drivers license here

[mistyrivers]

If you have foreign DL it is quick just fill up the forms they gave you wait till they call you for payment finger prints photo then you will be ask to come back after two to three days actually they ask me to come back the next day in the afternoon and i got my DL. I think it depends on how much people are applying day by day. Do not be tempted to pay for a fixer coz they will charged you a lot and you may be scammed also.

Nice, but you got lucky. The real requirement is a visa with 6 months on it. The LTO office you choose will make a big difference.

They did like European system already. Kasi dito madali nilang ginagawa ang processing nang mga papers. Yang medical Hinde na Yan dito kailangan. Passport and latest driver lisince mo nalang. Kasi dito walang pike pike. Galing.

I Have A Question: Im A FILIPINO NOW GERMAN CITIZEN AND HAVE A GERMAN LICENSE CAN I DRIVE IN THE PHILIPPINES WITH GERMAN LISENCE? OR HAVE TO APPLY PHILIPPINE DRIVERS LICENSE? THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY....

[Philippinesadventures]

So foreigners just need to bring a photocopy of their foreign DL not their physical foreign DL?

[wildfuture.network]

Gonna sound weird but what I'm looking for is actually to get my actual driving (I don't have any) license in the Philippines as a foreigner (French) that would travel there as a tourist for a couple of months. Not sure if it's a good idea but it's way cheaper than back home and i don't actually live in Europe anymore... Anyone has any info?
