When I got my Philippine license (most recent renewal and on a tourist visa) it took 16 months to get it (no I am not exaggerating in the slightest). So that pretty much proved I was here for a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that others in your area have been getting their license still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just have problems getting through line ups and bureaucracy and waiting games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, last year, I was told the whole clan was going to spend a weekend at a beach a couple of hours away. They rented a big van. Great! When I showed up I asked who the driver was. They handed me the keys. To me it would be worth paying a driver. Around here you can a Van and driver for about P3,000 per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The requirement change for new licenses is about 1 year old now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky you..LTO has changed their rules since..I had a balibayan good for 11 months and when I visited the LTO in March 2019.I was told I needed 1 year or more valid visa in passport and my driving permit was also rejected because my middle name was not on my Quebec permit..So now I await my 13a and had my middle name put on my permit.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules vary from branch to branch, also the rules may well have changed. Did you apply in Dumaguete also? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
