driving license

get an international license in the phils, it's pretty easy..


you need to apply for a student license first in the phils, after a month, you can apply for a non professional driving license, and take a theory test, eye test, wee test ..

then when you have your non pro license you can apply for a international license ..

i hope i got this right, but its worth doing, as you will be able to drive for a whole year, and will make taking your test easier here

Hi Joe, How about if I have my International license but don't know much how to drive. Do I need to apply license here ? Can I use my international? How long? My Thai friend has Int'l and she just drive right away, but not sure if that will be OK.
thanks

when you first come to the uk, you can drive for upto a year on an international license, and you need to tell your car insurance company your driving on a international license.

you cannot use a international license after 1yr of when you first came to the uk, if your a resident of the uk, some people think you can go back to the phils or where ever and come back to the uk and drive for upto a year again, you cannot, you have to pass both your theory and practical test before you can drive again.

and driving on a int license after 1yr of first coming to the uk, could get you into serious trouble and its possible it could effect any visa apps you make eg FLR/ILR if you are taken to court and convicted of driving without a valid license and invalid insurance, and your car could be crushed

and if you've got a British passport, you cannot drive with a international license in the uk !
