Sorry to keep asking these question, but if i dont drive or buy a vehicle once there but say a year or so later, have i still got to change my license after the first 90 days of setting foot in the Philippines.

But many don't Why would he? nothing says you have to have a driver's license if your not driving. In my opinion if a year or so later he wants to drive he can then convert his license. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you can maintain your old country drivers license as you see fit. That is what I will continue to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only legally drive on a foreign license for 90 days, but if you do not drive for a year, there is no reason to get a PI license until you are ready to drive. As long as your home license is current you can convert it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Tim But they count the 90 days from your Entry date Bin there and Tried that They have it mostly all covered Now, we moan but when they try and get it right, we still moan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it has expired or "run out" On 2/17/2018 at 8:10 PM, stevewool said: i have to replace my license plus ADR license and drivers card and most will be running out very soon So depending how long "running out soon" means he may want to renew his UK license or he may just want to come here, wait 3 months, and then get a Philippine license. If his UK license runs out after that then it probably does not matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
